Nyíregyháza’s Korzó Shopping Center (4400, Nagy Imre Square 1) is going all-in for the holidays with a full December lineup: concerts, a photo exhibition, puppet theater, a 360° camera pop-up, gift-wrapping, and a charming artisan marketplace. The season runs from December 5 through the New Year lull, with programs designed for kids, families, and anyone chasing that warm end-of-year buzz.
Magical Winter Photo Exhibition
Across multiple weeks, Korzó’s second floor hosts the Varázslatos tél (Magical Winter) photo contest exhibition, where a professional jury showcases the 30 best images in three categories: people, animals, and nature. In each category, three podium finishers will be announced and rewarded with BestByte vouchers. Exhibition dates: Dec 5–7, Dec 8–14, Dec 15–21, and Dec 22–23.
Ági Szalóki’s (Szalóki Ági) Holiday Concert
On Dec 6, singer Ági Szalóki returns with a family concert steeped in seasonal sparkle. It’s a cozy, smile-filled set blending the anticipation of Christmas with the excitement of waiting for Mikulás (St. Nicholas). Expect warmth, music, and a dash of festive magic that clicks for kids and grown-ups alike.
Meet Mikulás (St. Nicholas) at the Mall
Also on Dec 6, St. Nicholas drops by Korzó with his krampuses. From 11:00 to 17:00, track him down anywhere around the center—yes, even inside the stores—and don’t be shy: his sack is packed with treats for the little ones.
Burattino Puppet Theater Takes Over
The beloved Burattino Puppet Theater (Burattino Bábszínház) anchors several weekends with interactive musical fables, sweet animal tales, folk and fairground classics, plus Hungarian folk stories. There’s a craft corner and play area before and after shows. Performances run:
– Dec 6–7
– Dec 13–14
– Dec 20–23
– Dec 27–30
Regular slots include Saturdays at 11:00 and 16:00, and Sundays at 10:00, with additional dates noted above.
Advent Artisan Marketplace
The Advent Korzó Artisan Marketplace (Adventi Korzó Kézműves Piactér) delivers that candlelit, cinnamon-scented market vibe across three weekends. Browse handmade gifts, soak in the lights, and lean into the hush of the season. Dates: Dec 6–7, Dec 13–14, and Dec 20–21.
Gifts, Wrapped to Impress
Level up your presents with Ajándékcsomagolás stílusosan (Stylish Gift-Wrapping), the gift-wrapping service available for purchases made at Korzó. Swing by the wrapping point and let the team give your gifts a polished, festive look. Open on Dec 13–14 and Dec 20–21.
Strike a Pose: 360° Camera Pop-Up
Ready for the coolest holiday clip? On Dec 13, from 14:00 to 18:00, head to Building A between Douglas and Sinsay and step into the circle. The 360° camera captures full-swing festive energy—short, sweet, and totally shareable.
Why It’s Worth the Trip
Korzó’s December schedule keeps a steady rhythm: art for the eyes, music for the soul, theater for the kids, and market stalls for last-minute, maker-made gifts. With St. Nicholas sightings and pro-level gift wrap on peak weekends, it’s a one-stop holiday playbook. Whether you’re planning a family day out or a focused hunt for presents, the center’s packed calendar turns shopping into a seasonal outing—warm lights, busy stalls, and the sense that the city is celebrating together.
