The story

VIDOR Festival Nyiregyhaza in Nyiregyhaza

VIDOR Festival, full name Vidámság és Derű Országos Seregszemléje, is a nine-day comedy-focused performing arts festival held each late August across roughly forty-three Nyíregyháza venues. Centered on the Móricz Zsigmond Theatre, it features competitive comedy and musical-comedy programs, street theatre, and puppet shows, with about eighty percent of programming offered free of charge.

Nyíregyháza's Móricz Zsigmond Theatre anchors a nine-day performing arts festival each late August whose full name, Vidámság és Derű Országos Seregszemléje, translates roughly as the National Review of Cheerfulness and Merriment, shortened in everyday use to VIDOR.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

VIDOR's organizing principle, cheerfulness and comedy as a judged, competitive discipline rather than a loose theme, sets it apart from Hungary's more traditional or solemn cultural festivals

02

The mystery stays covered

Spreading across some forty-three venues over nine days is unusually long and geographically wide for a Hungarian regional festival, letting visitors sample street theatre, puppet shows, and staged comedy across a whole week rather than a single weekend

03

The city starts moving

The Musical VIDOR Summer sub-brand, staged at the open-air Rózsakert stage, separates musical comedy from the spoken-comedy competition running at the main theatre, giving the festival two parallel competitive tracks under one banner
