Of course, I had seen pictures of the beautiful architecture and heard stories of the booming nightlife. Little did I know, it is a major center of festivals, culture and events.\u00a0 I seriously cannot oversell how entertaining it is to explore the various events that take place every single day.<\/p>\n<p>Before I take you through some of my favorite festivals that happen in the Czech Republic, let me just recommend one of the best places to check out events and book tickets without commission: <a href=\"http:\/\/goout.cz.\">GoOut<\/a>. It is a website that basically sums up everything that is happening, will happen and might happen in Prague on a given date. You want to see a last minute date idea? It is full of concerts, theater, opera and whatnot. You want to see an impromptu exhibition? Look no more, there is always something open and you can find it all on GoOut.<\/p>\n<p>But enough unwanted advice &#8211; let&#8217;s get down to business.<\/p>\n<h2>1.

it is historically related to Satanic cults. However, in good old CZ, this is merely a harmless, family friendly holiday that children enjoy the most. It is basically a Czech Halloween &#8211; the origins are dark but all the festivities are in good taste.<\/p>\n<p>The night of the last day of April is believed to be magical, building up to a supernatural momentum at midnight. What you can expect is to see a huge wooden pole covered in rags and straw witches. It is set on fire with ceremony, after which people in traditional folk costumes dance around under the blaze of the flames.<\/p>\n<p>It all stems from the old belief that on this night witches and other evil forces gathered around to create dark magic and mischief. People would band together to protect themselves and light huge fires to drive the darkness away.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_38639\" style=\"width: 626px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/paleni_arodjnice-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38639\" class=\"wp-image-38639 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/paleni_arodjnice-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"616\" height=\"462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/paleni_arodjnice-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/paleni_arodjnice-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/paleni_arodjnice-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/paleni_arodjnice-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/paleni_arodjnice-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/paleni_arodjnice-816x612.jpg 816w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/paleni_arodjnice-scaled.jpg 924w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-38639\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u010carod\u011bjnice<br \/>Source: Wikipedia<\/p><\/div>\n<p>These days people are way less concerned with witches and dark spirits and a lot more with drunken tourists and other kinds of evil forces.\u00a0 They use the opportunity to celebrate the ending of winter and the coming of spring.

Every year there are new and new things to do and try out, from learning to do simple crafts to chilling with some of the performers.<\/p>\n<p>The festival usually takes place in an abandoned airport at Hradec Karlove.
