From August 15 to 17 in 2025, the main square of Hajdúböszörmény—Bocskai Square (Bocskai tér)—transforms into a party zone for the 31st Hajdu Week (Hajdúhét). This annual celebration brings live concerts, folk art and children’s activities, arts groups, Hungarian folk song shows, theater performances, craft workshops, a traditional toy house, and much more. Expect massive crowds gathering for three days of non-stop fun.
Where to Stay: Unique Accommodation Options
Hajdúböszörmény isn’t just about the wild summer festival scene—the town knows how to take care of its guests. If you’re looking for somewhere to sleep off all the excitement, the well-loved Youth Leisure Center by the Baths (Fürdőkerti Ifjúsági Szabadidőközpont) is a time-tested institution. For 145 years, it has transformed from an old bathhouse and guesthouse, to a communist-era Youth Association (KISZ) camp, then the Martos Flóra Young Pioneers’ House, and finally—since the ’90s—a modern youth center and hostel. Generations, whether locals or visitors, have come here to relax and socialize.
Another standout is a family-friendly apartment surrounded by ten hectares (about 25 acres) of working organic farmland. The enclosed, landscaped 65,000-square-foot yard promises a peaceful retreat, featuring plenty of green space, a “mini-arboretum” garden, fountains, and even a small pond. Nature lovers and families can walk around, unwind, and let their kids explore in complete safety and tranquility.
Set Up Camp in the Heart of the Action
If you’re after a social atmosphere and the buzz of festival life, look no further than the city’s Thermal Camping and Apartment (Termálkemping és Apartman). This modern campsite is right next door to the popular Bocskai Spa (Bocskai Gyógyfürdő) and the Health & Wellness Center. Whether you’re arriving with your camper or pitching a tent, this green, tree-lined spot offers a relaxed atmosphere.
The Thermal Camping is perfect for families looking to unwind, thermal spa fans seeking serious pampering, and anyone who wants to sleep under the stars. It’s a favorite with nature lovers and guarantees a comfortable stay whether you’re here for a night or several weeks. Whether you come alone, as a group, for business or on vacation—good times are practically guaranteed.
Celebrate in Style: Food, Sweets, and Event Spaces
Those coming for more than just the festival itself can take advantage of the Hajdu Event House (Hajdú Rendezvényház), which offers space for everything from weddings and family gatherings to large conferences and, of course, festivals like Hajdu Week (Hajdúhét).
Looking for a sugar rush after hours of dancing and exploring? Head to Mazsola—Hajdúböszörmény’s sweets paradise—which doubles as both an ice cream shop and a cake workshop. Shelves are filled with homemade cakes, slices, and pastries, tempting for festival-goers in need of energy or anyone with a sweet tooth.
All the Details (And a Heads-Up!)

Whether you’re there for the traditional crafts, exciting concerts, or just to soak up the small-town festival spirit, Hajdu Week (Hajdúhét) 2025 promises to deliver. Mark your calendar, book a room or pitch your tent, and get ready for a long weekend of organized chaos.
