Summary/Abstract: The study shows how the coronavirus epidemic changed the Transylvanian Hungarian NGOs’ events and how this affected students’ willingness to participate. Intention to participate in events during and after a coronavirus epidemic is examined along several factors such as sense of security, choice of location, number of participants, and adherence to current restrictions. In addition, we analyze several types of events in terms of willingness to participate, with a separate focus on attitudes towards mass events. How did the coronavirus epidemic affect Hungarian university students in Transylvania in terms of events? How have their habits changed when attending an event, especially a festival? We seek answers to these and similar questions in the present study. 1065 Hungarian students from Romanian universities were included in the research, and this is combined with the pilot research of the Transylvanian Association of Hungarian Civil Organizations and the 2021-2022 research of the Hungarian Cultural Society of Transylvania, which shows a current comprehensive picture of before and after the coronavirus epidemic. We used the questionnaire as a quantitative research method. The actuality of the topic lies the altered culture consumption habits caused by the coronavirus epidemic.
