festivals & celebrations

Join the people of Prague and take to the streets to celebrate the joie de vivre at one of many festivals or performances. In summer, the traditional Summer Shakespeare Festival or Příští vlna (Next Wave) alternative theatre festival await theatre lovers. If you are more attracted to acrobatic performances and adrenaline-filled spectacles, wait until the end of summer for the Letní Letná international festival of new circus. Fans of top-tier classical music will enjoy the annual Prague Spring festival or Dvořák’s Prague in autumn. If you want something fresh, check out the unexpected connections between classical, jazz or hip-hop music at Prague Sounds. In October, immerse yourself in the Signal Light Festival, which brings Prague’s streets to life with light installations that will leave you breathless. For architecture lovers, we recommend the Open Days, when otherwise inaccessible buildings are open to the public.
