 | Fabatka Porta folk playground 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; for example, the mill table is turned into a hockey stick or the market scale into a balance toy. We welcome all children and adults who would like to test their dexterity. It's worth a penny! |
 | Craft Show – felt-making Craft show of the works of the felt-maker and felting instructor of the Hungarian Heritage House, Bea Németh, as well as playhouse and community-building sessions with the participation of the present and former students of the Hungarian Heritage House. |

 | "From Game to Mastery” an interview about the craft with the felt-maker and felting instructor of the Hungarian Heritage House, Bea Németh and two of her students who graduated this year. In the course of the conversation, we can find out what defining experiences led the artist and her students to their occupation, what the main stages they went through in mastering the craft were, what they considered the greatest challenge and joy of their profession, and how they see the future of their craft. |
 | Live storytelling with Annamária Dósa, a storyteller of the Storytelling Association |
 | FabĂłk Mancsi: The Land of Immortality - puppetry show Each piece of our rich folktales symbolically reveals the real purpose of human life, its challenging tasks, and the difficulties that lead to them.

 | Folk music concert of the Korinda Ensemble with singing instruction and instrument presentation The Korinda Ensemble has committed itself to providing an authentic interpretation of the traditional folk music of ethnic groups living at the eastern edges of the Hungarian-speaking world. In addition to their roots in Szeged, the Department of Folk Music of the Liszt Academy has played an important part in the musical life of many of the members. There, they had the opportunity to study with the emblematic figures of the Dance House Movement and gain valuable professional experience. Although the main path for the ensemble is the folk music of the Moldavian csango, the Hungarian and Romanian folk music of the Gyimes, Barcaság, Szeklerland and Bukovina also form part of their repertoire. |
