From 12 to 17 February, the southern town of Mohács fills with people wearing hand-carved wooden masks and heavy sheepskins. Cowbells ring constantly. Fires burn along the Danube.
Large-scale investments and development projects, significant cultural programmes and artworks are under preparation in connection with the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Mohacs in 1526, the ministerial commissioner responsible for the tasks said.
From 20–22 February 2026, the National Dance Theatre will host a special event: the opening of the V4 Dance Weekend, celebrating the artistic diversity and cooperation of the Visegrád Group countries as part of the cultural programme of Hungary’s V4 Presidency.
Hungarian Culture Day will now span an entire week and adopt a distinct identity, unifying events across the Carpathian Basin, Magdolna Zavogyán, state secretary for culture, said at a press conference in the Hungarian National Museum.
