The Memory of the Nation Run will once again start at Vypich for the eleventh time, a charitable project of the non-profit organization Post Bellum.
The run annually connects thousands of people across the country and is intended for the general public – individuals, families, schools, and companies. The proceeds from the entry fees will support the filming of the stories of witnesses, education, and assistance to heroes.
Every step on the course reminds us of the stories of those who experienced key moments in our history, and also that freedom is not a given. Participants can symbolically dedicate their run to someone they do not want to forget or who inspires them. They just need to write that person's name on their race number. This personal aspect makes the event an exceptional project that connects movement with the remembrance of the stories of people who did not give up.
The Prague race will take place in the Hvězda game reserve. There will be courses prepared for experienced runners as well as complete beginners – from a symbolic one kilometer to five and ten kilometers, as well as children's races. The events will also include a supporting program for the whole family.
The proceeds from the entry fees will support the activities of the Memory of the Nation, the filming and preservation of the stories of witnesses, educational projects, and direct assistance to people who stood up to totalitarian regimes in the past.
The automotive festival Legends is slowly knocking on the door, and that means only one thing. In Prague, countless stunning cars will be on display that you won't encounter in everyday traffic. At the Holešovice exhibition grounds, you will see, for example, the Pagani Utopia Roadster, Huayra, Ferrari SF90XX Stradale, models SP3, SP1, as well as new offerings from brands like Aston Martin, Mercedes-AMG, and Lotus. This year's edition will not only be about cars. The accompanying program is tailored to meet the needs of all family members. Men can look forward to a watch exhibition in addition to the cars, while women and children will enjoy a dance program and other entertaining activities.
The Dvorec Zoo, located in the picturesque landscape of South Bohemia near Borovany, is an ideal place for all nature lovers, families with children, and animal enthusiasts. This private zoo has built a strong reputation over its existence due to its personal approach to the animals, emphasis on their well-being, and authentic experience for visitors.
Spring at the Theatre in Řeznická will bring the Czech premiere of the tragicomedy with a short but apt title Ex, by the acclaimed German playwright Maria von Mayenburg. Under the direction of Jakub Šmíd, the central roles will be played by actors Zuzana Zlatohlávková, Lenka Zbranková, and Jiří Š Hájek. The play is based on the biting and precise dialogue of the married couple Daniel and Sibille. The essentially problem-free life of a successful upper-middle-class couple with two children is strongly stagnating and deepening its crisis. When Daniel's ex shows up at the door one evening, there is no turning back. Or is there?
While most parties in Prague start after midnight, this one will kick off at one in the afternoon. Sound Open Air returns on May 23rd and will present an all-day takeover on Štvanice, featuring a strong international lineup on two outdoor stages and a format that remains more of an exception than a rule in Prague. In May, the island between the arms of the Vltava River will transform into an open dance area with a view of the city and four stages spread across Štvanice. As the sun sets, the event will move indoors to Fuchs2, where it will continue until 6:00 AM.
Southern Moravia is associated with wines of exceptional quality, but over the last decade, breweries of all sizes have also emerged and continue to grow here. They are collecting one award after another, and it's time to start discovering this phenomenon during trips through the sunniest region of the Czech Republic. Local brewers craft not only the classics but also a wonderfully diverse array of specialties that delight beer experimenters and female clientele alike, as each batch carries the signature of its creator and is often a very playful affair.
A total of 36 stalls, including 21 winemakers, tastings of rosé wines and clarets, along with suitable gastronomy and a rich accompanying program – all this will be offered at the 15th edition of the Růžový máj festival. It will take place on May 16th on the right bank of the Vltava River at Rašínovo nábřeží.
