In November 1994, the Youth Community Center was opened on Pazmany Peter Street. “Following exactly the protocol and avoiding all unnecessary moments, the youth center created in the Petofi School building on Pazmany Petr Street in Zalaegerszeg was opened on Saturday evening. After receiving the building from the municipality, the youth center created in the Petofi School building was opened in Zalaegerszeg. , the conversion and renovation work went on at full speed. The fact that it was completed sooner than expected is due to the friendly work of seventy people. And how different will the Youth Center be from the Cultural Center? Well, according to the plans – in an attempt to overcome the barriers – It will try to work in such a way that the young people who enter there will say what they want, because they will be the owners of the house – not an institution. (Zalai Herlab Report, November 21, 1994)
In the summer of 2000, the Youth Center held a very successful event called Pazmany Festival, and the organizers András Szabó and Tamas Weitstein told Zalai Herlab about this event. “- In addition to young people who have visited the institution before, we also offer entertainment opportunities for the older age group – says Tamas. – Of course, those who have held evenings and concerts here will also give performances, but the band called Bran, which plays Irish folk music, will be Visible and audible, its performance will be followed by a dance floor – tells Andras. “The organizers want the Youth Center to function regularly again, and to provide entertainment opportunities for those who love literature, cinema, light music and theater alike.” (Zalai Herlab, June 27, 2000)
Over the years, countless young light music groups have been able to take the stage, and young visual artists have been able to present their exhibitions. Literary evenings and alternative theatrical performances attracted the public to the Youth Center on Pazmany Peter Street. Maybe you need a place again…
