Five-Petalled Rose Festival - framework programme
38th year of the historic Five-Leaved Rose Festival
Every year, on the weekend closest to the summer solstice, the centre of Český Krumlov is dominated by historical festivals, which are among the largest of their kind in Europe. The town returns to the Renaissance, its most glorious era, and recalls the glory of the five-leaved rose family. Period music plays everywhere, there are sword fights, jugglers and juggling performances, theatre and dance performances, children and adults can play period games, and market vendors offer their wares. There are also exhibitions and demonstrations of horse work.
