Will there be no social, community-focused, intellectual, entertaining and educational festival at Lake Balaton this year? DE!HOGYNEM Festival — a Hungarian name roughly meaning “Oh, yes there will.”

The festival is organised by the DE! Action Community Association. By spring 2026, the organisation had become an important voice in Hungarian public life through its film The Price of a Vote and the election-observer network created around it to help prevent electoral fraud.

11–13 September 2026. Festival programmes will take place on Friday and Saturday.

On the shore of Lake Balaton in Balatonalmádi: at Wesselényi Beach and Erzsébet Park.

It really does :) Whether you visit the DE!HOGYNEM Festival for one day or the entire weekend, admission costs 4,900 Ft. We also offer a low-cost camping ticket for those who would like to camp. Residents of Balatonalmádi can attend free of charge by presenting their address card at the venue.

Many people in Hungary believe that we need places where we can ask questions, debate, think, laugh, meet and act together for something that matters to all of us: our future and the kind of country we want to live in. Every supporter ticket therefore means much more than admission. The amount above the standard ticket price helps the DE! Action Community Association continue its work and makes it possible for the DE!HOGYNEM Festival to happen now and in the future. If you are able to give a little more, you give us space, momentum and opportunity.

If you believe in what we are doing, stand with us. Let us make it happen together. Thank you for every contribution!

A campsite is available a ten-minute walk from the festival, with showers, toilets and access to electricity. We offer this option at a symbolic price under the name Camping Ticket on the ticketing page. Balatonalmádi and the surrounding towns also offer many accommodation options for the festival weekend. You can find more information in the Accommodation section.

Balatonalmádi is easy to reach. The festival venue is practically next to the railway station and can easily be reached on foot. By train Direct trains run between Budapest-Déli and Balatonalmádi, including the Kék Hullám InterCity, Vízipók and Katica services. The fastest journey takes approximately 1 hour 40 minutes. By bus Travelling by bus from Budapest usually requires a change in Veszprém, so the train is generally the more convenient option.
