One of the most successful traveling exhibitions of our time is heading to Prague. Harry Potter™: The Exhibition will open its doors on August 6, 2026, at the PVA EXPO Prague Letňany and will offer visitors a unique opportunity to enter the stories that have captured the hearts of fans around the world. The interactive exhibition, which has already attracted more than four million people, will showcase authentic costumes, original props, and unforgettable settings inspired by both the Harry Potter™ film series and the Fantastic Beasts™ films, as well as the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

The capital will once again shake to its foundations at the end of summer. The popular open-air festival ROCK MOTOL FEST announces its return and has prepared a significant innovation for its third edition. Originally a one-day event, it is transforming into a full-fledged two-day festival marathon filled with guitar riffs, thundering basses, and the purest rock-metal energy. On September 11 and 12, 2026, the unique natural area of the former Motol campsite in Prague 5 will come alive, where the renowned restaurant Železná Panna is currently located. This space offers the ideal combination of great accessibility within the capital and an authentic, relaxed festival atmosphere in the open air.

With the arrival of the summer months, cultural life moves outdoors. Although the theater holidays are here, boredom is definitely not on the horizon – the main festival season is kicking off. If you and your friends are already planning where to enjoy the best atmosphere together this year, our overview of the top festivals will make your decision easier.

From July 27 to 30, Prague's Malá Strana will come alive with a unique combination of dance, music, and theater. The 23rd edition of the ProART Festival invites the general public to a series of evening performances in the open air, set against the inspiring backdrop of the Werich Villa. Under the motto "Caring for the Soul through Art," the program will offer deep artistic experiences as well as space for inner tranquility.

The Beats for Love festival will open its gates on Wednesday, July 1st, and Dolní Vítkovice will transform into a giant world of music, lights, emotions, and unforgettable experiences for four days. The largest electronic music festival in Central Europe will offer its historically strongest program this year, with more than 550 artists arriving in Ostrava from July 1st to 4th, performing on 18 stages, including the long-awaited megastar and hitmaker Calvin Harris, who will perform on Wednesday.

The exhibition + - Zlín, which opened in October 2024, provides visitors with a glimpse into fine arts, architecture, and design, drawing primarily from the institution's extensive collections. Its main theme is the dual face of the city – on one side, the modern industrial Zlín associated with the Baťa company, and on the other side, Zlín connected with nature, the countryside, and traditions. It is the contrast between these two worlds that forms the foundation of the entire exhibition.
