Multiple locations across 2364 Ócsa keep the program moving, and visitors can plan around dates, stays, and food-and-drink options tied to each event.
Opera Tribute in a Monumental Setting
May 11, 2026, brings the József Gregor Memorial Concert to the Ócsa Reformed Monument Church (Ócsai Református Műemlék Templom), where the Hungarian State Opera’s soloists—Eszter Magyari (soprano), Zsuzsanna Mizsei Takács (mezzo-soprano), József Csobolya (tenor), and Péter Forgács (bass)—join pianist Krisztina M. Szabó. The evening revives a beloved local tradition shaped by the late, legendary bass József Gregor, rekindling the grandeur of opera in a remarkable historic space. Tickets: $13.30.
Rock Poetry Inside Centuries-Old Walls
On Friday, May 15 at 18:00, the Ócsa Reformed Monument Church (Ócsai Református Műemlék Templom) hosts Kiss Tibi és az Aranyakkord. Led by Tibi Kiss—best known as the frontman of Quimby—alongside collaborators Gábor Vastag and Andor “Ufo” Gábor, the group delivers intimate, lyric-driven songs with a propulsive edge. The venue’s centuries-old walls deepen the mood, where tender yet forceful tracks bloom in a hushed, resonant atmosphere. Tickets: $18.80, available in person at the Gábor Egressy Leisure Center (Egressy Gábor Szabadidőközpont) or online.

On Saturday, May 23 at 18:30, pianist Endre Hegedűs—an artist with the Dohnányi Orchestra Budafok (Budafoki Dohnányi Zenekar)—gives a charity recital at the Holy Trinity Church of Ócsa (Ócsai Szentháromság-templom) under the banner “Classics as Guests.” Supporter ticket: $6.90.
From operatic splendor to stripped-back rock poetry and a heartfelt classical recital, Ócsa’s 2026 calendar is built for deep listening in extraordinary places.
