Cross the river: Tomorrow’s festival on the bank of the River Svitava

For the fifth time, the festival will enliven the River Svitava’s waterfront. The programme, which is free of charge to visit, includes concerts, theatre performances, “neckyáda” (a show with boaters using unconventional and funny ways of boating or vessels) and much more. Performers will include Fast Food Orchestra, Phil Shoenfelt & Band of Heysek and more.

The event takes place annually from Bílovice nad Svitavou as far as Tuřany. This year, visitors can also look forward to concerts, theatre performances, exhibitions and sports and art activities for children and adults. In addition to the programme, a number of normally closed buildings will be opened, such as the former slaughterhouse on the Masná street or the smith’s shop in Obřany. There will also be a historical steam and motor train that will run from Adamov. It will also be possible to go to Bílovice nad Svitavou on a “dragon boat” and visit the local community centre (“sokolovna”), which will offer a sports programme. The main venue of the festival is the riverside in Černovice. On the stage called “Stará Pekárna nad řekou” (Old Bakery over the River) the audience will dance to the beat of Fast Food Orchestra. The “Porážka Stage” (Slaughterhouse Stage), which was added last year, will give space to starting and indie bands. The festival will take place tomorrow, 21 August 2021.
