The lights of the holiday season are increasingly weaving through everyday life in Debrecen, and the third weekend of Advent invites you once again to the heart of the city with cozy, memorable moments. The Kölcsey Center and the Advent Fair will offer special programs for those who want to pause for a moment and experience the magic of the holiday season.
The lights, shared experiences, and warmth we create together all contribute to making Advent not just a period of time, but a feeling.
