Here’s an overview to help you plan better.
Easter in March coincides with the early tourist influx. While April’s Burning of the Witches is a custom coming from pagan times. These are great festivals by which you can taste Czech heritage, be it in big cities or quaint villages. For something a bit more engaging, Prague Spring is the biggest music and performing arts festival of the season, lasting from mid-May until June.
Colours of Ostrava tops the list, as one of the most renowned music festivals on the continent. 100 bands across 16 stages is what you have to look forward to. While Prague Castle becomes home to Shakespeare during this two-month-long celebration of his works through incredible performances. Your summer visit can also be around Prague Fringe Festival, the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and the International Folklore Festival in Brno.
Summer heat and tourism subsides, making this a great time to visit. Plus, you can attend Czech Republic events like the Znojmo Wine Festival in Moravia or the Slunce ve Skle Beer Festival, Pilsen. If you’re in Prague, the Signal Festival is a unique cultural event that sees much of the city’s facades beautifully lit up.
The biggest celebrations during the cold season are Christmas and New Year, both of which offer merriment, colourful markets, fireworks and plenty of enjoyable experiences for the entire family.
