The excitement of Christmas fills the air as the Debrecen Advent Festival kicks off on 29 November in the city’s beating heart.
Debrecen Advent brings a festive spirit to the city; the main square is transformed into a magical winter wonderland of Christmas lights!
Discover the charming craft stalls offering unique gifts and indulge in Hungarian culinary delights such as chimney bread and lángos (fried flat bread).
Don’t miss out on a cup of mulled wine or a little skating in front of the Reformed Great Church.
With around 750 square metres of sparkling ice spread over a 120-metre stretch, the Kossuth Square ice rink will provide a stunning backdrop for winter fun for professional and novice skaters this year.
The Hütté next to the rink offers an authentic Alpine atmosphere and gastronomic delights.
This year, there will also be a Ugly Sweater Run in Debrecen, and you can join the Christmas donation (Szeretetdoboz in Hungarian).
Don’t miss the magic of Advent in Debrecen, which has something for everyone.
