The Honey Valley Summer outdoor theater festival lights up Veresegyház from June through August 2026. Pest County’s massive all-arts blowout draws theater fans every summer with smash-hit shows starring top talent. Organizers have lined up diverse plays, concerts, and family fun for this open-air season at Búcsú tér in 2112 Veresegyház, starting Sunday, June 21.
June Kickoff
On June 21, Hungary’s light music giant Charlie takes the Honey Valley Summer stage, blending smoky blues, sizzling jazz, and classic Hungarian rock under Veresegyház’s magical evening skies. Sing along to eternal hits like Jég dupla jéggel (Ice Double on the Rocks) and Nézz az ég felé (Look to the Sky). Then June 24 brings Mohácsi István’s Francia rúdugrás (French Pole Vault) (18+): three women and three men in a stormy night sextet where roles flip wildly. Sizzling chemistry and a sly sex psychologist spark chaos, misunderstandings, and steamy mix-ups—in hopes that it all turns out right.
July Theater Fever
July 3 features Neil Simon’s Pletykafészek (Rumors)—a two-act farce where you can just lean back, watch gossip spread, and laugh at the upper crust’s mishaps. July 4 rocks with István, a király (Stephen, the King) concert: the hit Hungarian rock opera’s massive anniversary tour with star singer-actors, the Crescendo Music Orchestra, cutting-edge lights, visuals, animations, huge moving sets, and pyrotechnic thrills. Back-to-back on July 7 and 8, Dés László – Geszti Péter – Grecsó Krisztián’s A Pál utcai fiúk (The Paul Street Boys), reimagined not as kids but as young adults in tougher conflicts and fueled by modern tunes. Expect acoustic props, rhythmic actor flair, youthful energy, humor, and the original’s cathartic punch—delivered in two parts for double the fun as a musical play.
July 12 unleashes A dzsungel könyve (The Jungle Book): Mowgli the man-cub battles foes and seeks happiness with his new jungle family amidst dense foliage—a heart-wrenching, heartwarming tale of friendship and love for kids and grown-ups who are kids at heart. July 15 is Jeanie Linders’ Menopauza (Menopause) musical: every woman’s big change, shared loudly, honestly, and hilariously in this global smash. Geszti Péter’s concert hits July 19 with Rapülők dance bangers, Jazz+Az funk, Gringó Csillag (Gringo Star), and Létvágy pop live, complete with flashy tech, laughs, and real talk.
July World Premieres and Laughs
July 21 and 22 deliver the world premiere of Csengetett, Mylord? (You Rang, M’Lord?)—TV icons spring to life on Veresegyház’s stage for unforgettable summer nights. July 26 is Steven Moffat’s RÉM RENDES VENDÉG (The Perfectly Nice Guest)—a two-act comedy: a polite British couple, Peter and Debbie, befriend American widow Elsa on a cruise, swap addresses, but freak out over her frightening online reputation when she shows up. They hesitate to let her near their teenagers, trying not to offend her amid chaos from nosy neighbors and cops—fresh from London’s West End to Budapest’s Játékszín. July 28’s Ne most, Drágám! (Not Now, Darling!) comedy packs love triangles, mink coats, scantily clad ladies, flying clothes, and total madness in London’s poshest fur salon for pure fun. July 31 swings with Amerikai komédia (American Comedy) musical, based on Aszlányi Károly’s 1930s play—libretto and lyrics by Lőrinczy Attila, music by award-winner Bársony Bálint, directed by Peller Károly: non-stop laughs, energy, and swing vibes for all ages.

August 5 cracks open Az Ackroyd gyilkosság (The Murder of Roger Ackroyd) thriller: Hercule Poirot retires to sleepy King’s Abbot, but two baffling deaths occur—starring Kálid Artúr as Poirot and Szabó P. Szilveszter as Dr. James Sheppard in Agatha Christie’s thriller. August 7 and 11 double down on Anconai szerelmesek (Ancona Lovers) musical comedy—Hungary’s most-played in 20 years, mixing Italian commedia dell’arte, Hungarian laughs, and 70s Italian hits like Azzurro and Bella Ciao. The sequel on the 11th reunites the gang 20 years later at a Balaton SZOT resort, chasing roots, loves, and bliss with Békés elvtárs’s help amid serdülő kids and more bel canto.
August 15 spotlights Egy életem (My Life) biographical stand-up with Csuja Imre: humbly funny tales of mom directing his childhood, early career grind with four shows a day, lessons from old masters, meeting his wife 40+ years ago, plus behind-the-scenes on Üvegtigris (Glass Tiger) and Valami Amerika (Something America). Kids’ turn August 18 with Túl a Maszat-hegyen (Beyond Smudge Mountain) comedy musical: Andris fights stains, dusters, and neat freaks to save pals in a topsy-turvy world of color, magic songs, play, imagination, and laughs—where vacuums aren’t always heroes. August 22 enchants with A muzsika hangja (The Sound of Music) musical: 1930s nun Maria brings joy, songs, and seven kids to a captain’s home amid Nazi storms—catchy tunes, deep emotions, history for family nights from tots to grandparents. It wraps August 26 with Szép nyári nap (Beautiful Summer Day) Neoton musical in a 1970s Yugoslav-border camp: ironic young volunteers and the eternal party with Neoton/ABBA-level hits perfect for every house bash.
