Prague turns into a city of music, theater, and food every summer. We have handpicked a few festivals you cannot miss out on in the next few months.

Praha žije hudbou 

Prague Is Alive With Music is one of the biggest street festivals in Prague. This event shows that culture and music belong in the streets. Last year’s edition attracted a large number of visitors and this year, the organizers want to build on that and create even more busking spots.

Busking refers to any street performance, whether it is a musical, improvisational, or theatrical production. The Prague Is Alive With Music Festival is organized by Nerudný fest, which also organizes other events such as Mladí tuní jazz and Student Fest.

Anyone who wants to showcase their art on the streets can join the festival. Just fill in the questionnaire on the website: prahazijehudbou.cz. You can experience street art on the 23rd and 24th of June in many places in Prague. Stages are in Stalin, Můstek, and Namesti Republiky.
