Also on the programme are concerts by the musicians János Vázsonyi, Péter Sziámi Müller and Eszter Takáts, and a performance of Indian dances by Dóra Meenakshi Bittner.
Gyukics will host the event together with Ágnes Deák Bárdos.
The event, which is free of charge, will start at 3pm and run until midnight.
Similar events are taking place at 650 venues in 95 countries around the world as part of 100 Thousand Poets for Change.
