Kövér Béla Puppet Theater celebrates International Children's Day with its popular "Tengerhab Gyereknap" event on May 23-24, 2025. The two-day program includes free outdoor activities and ticket-only indoor performances.

On Friday, May 23, programs in front of the Puppet Theater's building include musical activities, interactive games, giant bubble-making, and handicraft activities. Indoors, two performances, mainly for pre-registered kindergarten and school groups, will be held by Barboncás Társulat in the Puppet Theater. A ticket-only afternoon performance will be in the studio room (Kamaraterem), suitable for ages 0-4.

Saturday's outdoor programs feature musical and handicraft activities, giant bubble-making, interactive games, and playing with puppets. Nyuszi, hopp!, a performance recommended for children aged 0-4, will be played in the Puppet Theater's studio room (Kamaraterem). On the bigger stage of the theater, an audience favourite, A púpos lovacska, awaits visitors.

Fun fact: the event's title – Tengerhab Gyereknap – literally translates to Seafoam Kid's Day.

Friday, May 23: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Saturday, May 24: 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM
