DEHOGYNEM (BET YOU CAN) Feszt

Isn’t there going to be a great festival on Lake Balaton this year—one that’s socially engaged, community-focused, intellectually stimulating, entertaining, and educational?

YOU BET THERE IS!✊

📅 September 11–13, 2026

📍 Wesselényi Beach, Balatonalmádi 

A weekend where public life isn’t just a distant debate behind screens, but rather a time for face-to-face encounters, conversations, music, culture, and shared thinking.

DE!HOGYNEM Festival was created to provide a space for those who want to ask questions, debate, and understand the world around them, and to take action to shape the kind of country we live in.

🎤 Inspiring conversations with well-known opinion leaders and artists

🎶 Cultural programs and contemporary performers

💬 Collective reflection on the most important issues of democracy

🌊 Lake Balaton gatherings in an open, active community

Róbert Puzsér, Krisztián Ungvári, Péter Juhász (Juhi), Dávid Dave Levitin, Áron Molnár, Tamás Lengyel, Nóra Rainer-Micsinyei, Random Trip, Tamás Pajor, Csaba Bogos, Ibolya Oláh, Péter Geszti, Sziámi, Lenkke_, Duckshell, Vízőrző Movement, DE! Action Community... and many, many more!

Let’s search for the answers together through some 70 programs—on stage, in discussions, in workshops, and with one another.

• on freedom of the press and independent journalism,
• social inequalities and extreme poverty,
• climate adaptation and the future of Lake Balaton,
• culture, creativity, and civic engagement.

DE!HOGYNEM Festival is a new event organized by the DE! Action Community, which was launched following their film titled The Price of a Vote and was born out of the energy of a nationwide civic coalition. It builds a civic space where we not only talk about change but also work together to find opportunities for action.

Democracy. Reflection. Debate. Music. Gatherings. Action ❤️

🌅 Come to Balatonalmádi and tell us what kind of country you’d like to live in!

You can’t do anything about it?

YOU BET YOU CAN! ✊🌊
