Arrabona EGTC
The building has been in the service of the arts for over eighty years, today it is the home of the Vaskakas (Iron Rooster) Puppet Theater. Puppet theater is a genre not meant for any specific age group, thus, the theater features productions for adults and adolescents as well. In the Bartók Room, apart from the puppet shows, guest productions are also featured, pop and classical music concerts, literary readings, prosaic theater productions, folk dance, modern dance, and ballet performances. The city's cultural renown is largely due to the Győrkőcfesztivál (Children's Festival) established in 2008, which has become the largest event of its kind not only in Hungary but throughout Central Europe.
