The “modern” carnival will be 25 years old in 2026.

Szombathely’s largest and most popular event, the Savaria Historical Carnival, will celebrate her the 25th anniversary of its “modern history” next year. The event has been a prominent heritage tourism event in the Western Transdanubia region since 2000, attracting hundreds-and-thousands of people to the city every year.

Today, the festival has become a unique, historicizing, high-quality event in Szombathely and Vas counties, attracting the largest audience.

In order to celebrate the 2026 jubilee in a worthy manner, preparations have already begun this year.

As a first step, the organizers have determined the date of next year’s carnival, carefully considering the dates of national festivals and major jubilee events.

By announcing the date early, their goal is to reach the widest possible audience: artists, performers, merchants, and visitors alike and to begin joint preparations for the quarter-century celebration in time.

The anniversary carnival will offer special programs, novelties and festive surprises for all those who would like to be part of the 25th anniversary Savaria Historical Carnival experience.

Usually do not share recommendation months-and-months earlier than acctually to programs but this time maybe anyway worthwhile to mark the date in your callender will not be missed to visit.
