when:
Nagykőrös rolls through 2026 with a full calendar of fairs, comedy, talks, music, and community gatherings for every age. Ten times a year, the town hosts a national animal and flea market that draws nearly 400 licensed vendors and a lively mix of goods, while the Arany János Cultural Center keeps the stage busy with stand-up, lectures, and concerts. Dates and programs may change at the organizers’ discretion, so plan ahead—and don’t be surprised if you stay longer than you meant to.
February 22 brings the Frigyes Day Fair, one of the town’s marquee national animal and trader markets. Expect a sprawling selection: beyond the classic flea-market wares, a dedicated livestock section gathers horse, cattle, pig (plus goat and sheep), poultry, and small-animal sellers. It’s a snapshot of traditional Hungarian market life, energetic and eclectic, with deals tucked between produce, tools, textiles, and curiosities.
Two days later, on February 24, Dumaszínház regular Lakatos László hits the stage with his solo evening Megjöttem at the Arany János Cultural Center. Tickets run $18.10, a sharp price for a prime seat at a reliably packed comedy night in Nagykőrös.
On March 24, psychologist and bestselling author Orvos-Tóth Noémi unpacks How Do We Break Inherited Family Patterns? in a thought-provoking talk at the Cultural Center. Tickets range from $21.70 to $24.40. Expect a full house: her explorations of transgenerational dynamics have a devoted following.
March 29 returns to market mode with the Irén Day Fair. As with every edition, count on close to 400 vendors and the full animal-trade lineup—horses to poultry—organized in a clearly separated section for smooth browsing and safe buying.
April 26 marks the St. George’s Day Fair, keeping the national market cadence with the same rich vendor mix and a broad spectrum of goods. If you’re hunting a rare part, a handcrafted tool, or a barnyard upgrade, this is the place to scan every aisle.
On May 15, the Cultural Center hosts László Attila és amit a zongora mesél… – Nagykőrös, a piano-led evening where storytelling meets music. Tickets: $12.60. A cozy, melodic night for fans of intimate performance.
June 28 is the László Day Fair, bringing the summer swing into full market rhythm with livestock traders, small-animal sellers, and a heaving assortment of stalls across the grounds.
July 26 falls on the month’s last Sunday—cue the Magdolna Day Fair, a nationwide animal and trader market welcoming everyone with open arms and plenty of bargaining. Come for an honest-to-goodness fairground meal, stock up from the trader rows, or fill a poultry gap back home. It’s as practical as it is festive.
August 30 waves goodbye to the season with the End-of-Summer Fair. Same massive vendor presence, same separate livestock area, same reliable treasure-hunt vibe.
September 27 is the St. Michael’s Day Fair, as comprehensive as ever. October 25 follows with the Dömötör Day Fair, and December 6 closes the year on a bustling note with the András Day Fair. Each date keeps the town’s tradition alive: close to 400 licensed vendors, serious livestock trading, and the most eclectic market tables anywhere in the region.
