when:
Nyíregyháza’s Korzó Shopping Center is going big in 2026, filling the calendar with family-friendly programs, community events, and hands-on fun that turn a mall day into a mini city festival. With a wide mix of shops and services and steady waves of promotions, the vibe is part shopping spree, part weekend escape for every age. Find it at 4400 Nyíregyháza, Imre Nagy Square (Nagy Imre tér) 1.
Clear the closets or score a bargain at the Kids’ Stuff Fair on February 21. If the kids have outgrown last season’s clothes or those once-beloved toys now gather dust, this is where “what’s extra for you becomes someone else’s real find.” Sellers can book a table in advance—don’t wait, space is limited and pre-registration is required. Buyers can hunt for gently used gems at friendly prices. Location: Korzó Shopping Center, Nyíregyháza.
The Burattino Puppet Theater comes to Korzó for two weekends: February 21–22 and February 28–March 1. The troupe invites kids and grownups alike into an interactive world of musical fables, sweet animal tales, folk and market-play classics, and beloved Hungarian folk stories. It’s lively, participatory, and a perfect primer for little theatergoers—and a dose of nostalgia for parents. Venue: Korzó Shopping Center, Nyíregyháza.
If you’re after a heartfelt gift for Women’s Day, the Korzó Artisan Marketplace on March 7 offers unique, handcrafted presents for moms, grandmas, friends, colleagues—or yourself. Expect:
– Independent makers and craft artists
– One-of-a-kind, lovingly made gifts
– Plenty of Women’s Day spirit and inspiration
