City day programmes with a change of location

In a cold wind and drizzling rain, the events organised in honour of Debrecen City Day and the 176th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence began on 11 April.

The series of events started with a ceremonial flag-raising ceremony with the Debrecen Garrison Orchestra at the Old Town Hall. 

During the day, there will be a guided walk through the history of the city, various performances and concerts. On the occasion of Poetry Day and City Day, you can also fill up a Debrecen Quiz in the Libertine Bookshop. Ending the day theater-loving audiences can attend the premiere of Pál Ábrahám’s grand operetta Victoria at the Csokonai Theatre.

Please find the programmes below, but note the City Day Tasting with dill buns and Debrecen “batyu” (Debrecen gourment puff pastry), planned for 2:00 p.m. has changed venue. Due to the weather it will be held at the Kölcsey Centre instead of the Main Square.

Please find City Day programmes here.
