Advent in Zalakaros 2026
As Christmas approaches, Zalakaros is decked out in festive lights, and the magical atmosphere of the Advent season begins to take hold. Once again this year, the Karos Promenade will be filled with life, music, lights and cosy moments, ensuring that the experience of waiting for the festive season is unforgettable for young and old alike.
From the end of November right through to Christmas, we look forward to welcoming visitors with a varied programme of Advent events. On Advent weekends, musical and entertainment performances, children’s programmes, festive shows, communal candle-lighting ceremonies and special attractions will create a festive atmosphere.
During the series of events, the programme will feature, amongst other things, a Disney show, Santa Claus events, the Krampuslauf, concerts and Christmas performances.
