Fabatka Porta folk playground
đź•’4 pm to 7 pm 

The Fabatka Porta folk playground uses natural materials, folk motifs, and traditions. Its main element is the carved wooden carousel decorated with tulips. Many old commodities gain a new life here, such as the mill table turned into a hockey stick or the market scale turned into a balance toy. We welcome all children and adults who would like to test their dexterity. It's worth a penny!

Zirano Theatre: Babszem JankĂł (Tom Thumb)- puppet farce based on the folk tale collected by Elek Benedek, accompanied by live music 
đź•’4 pm to 5 pm

In the performance, the well-known Hungarian folk tale comes to life following the traditions of fair puppet shows, introducing the absurd humour lying in glove puppetry and the experience of face-to-face storytelling to children and adults alike.  
Puppeteers: ZsĂłfia Pfeifer, PĂ©ter RĂłbert Varga
Written and directed by András Veres 
Designed and produced by Szilárd Boráros 

Dance of the Little ones, lap games, dance instructions for young and older kids with Zsuzsanna Kovács; music played by Bernadett Gebri and Zsolt Vaskó
