Vinohrady Block Party “Different Americká Experience” to Take Place on September 14

Saturday, September 14, Different Americká Experience (or Zažít Americkou jinak) will take place on Americká street.

The event is organized under the multicultural festival, neighbors’ celebration *Different City Experience (or Zažít město jinak).

“For this edition, we’ve crafted an event with an unparalleled aura. Beyond bringing local businesses and neighbors together for a day, it fosters a truly one-of-a-kind global community, allowing attendees to savor cultures and delicacies from virtually every corner of the globe,” shares event coordinator Omri Goz.

The heart of the festival will be the La Calle Mexicana stage, featuring performances by Prague’s first original Mexican mariachi band, Mariachi Azteca De Praga, groups like Grupo Latinsky and Cumbia Coopeerativa, and several DJs.

The program will also include a dance workshop, an antigravity yoga demonstration, and a drummer parade. As tradition goes, there will be an official celebration of Mexico’s Independence Day, El Grito, together with the Mexican and Latin American community, complete with a Piñata made especially for the occasion.

At the fountain on the corner of Americká and Záhřebská, the Burza #4 stage will be set up near the establishment of the same name, which has been supporting the event for several years. Several DJs will take turns performing there throughout the day. On the Apelace 21 stage at Záhřebská 21, jazz will mix with house sets, while visitors can slow down at the Soundset stage on the corner of Americká and Uruguayská.

Local businesses and organizations will also have a presence at the festival. The social and cultural center Letohradská 10, run by Latin American and Czech artists under the name Kolektivole z.s., will be showcasing their work.

As every year, the library on Záhřebská Street will engage children with plenty of competitions and fun games. Just a few steps from its stage, the independent theater Divadlo D21, which recently celebrated its 21st birthday, will set up its booth, returning to Americká once again.

You’ll also be able to see a sculpture by Mexican artists created to mark Mexico’s Independence Day and other art installations.

Throughout the day, you can taste delicacies from Mexican, Latin, and global cuisine. Enjoy trendy street food or visit the local establishments. There will also be a MINT Market where you can purchase design pieces from local designers and original products from Latin America. At the Art&Deco by TSD booth, you can also join a workshop on painting glass with acrylic markers.
