Easter celebrations in Jindřichův Hradec

Traditional pre-Easter event in the Museum of Jindřichův Hradec. 

Traditional pre-Easter event in the museum grounds and the city centre in cooperation with the costume team, focused on folk customs, traditions and a programme suitable for families with children. 

We can celebrate the arrival of Easter and spring together with the popular Easter Vespers event, which will take place in the grounds of the Minorite Monastery of the Museum of Jindřichův Hradec in Štítný Street and on Jindřichův Hradec's Peace Square. The event will take place on Saturday
The event will start at 9:30 am from the museum building in Štítného Street (bullfighters welcome) with a decorated Kraslicovník. A cheerful procession led by the children's rhythm ensemble Hakuna Matata will head to Panská Street and Míru Square, where members of the Studna Theatre will also perform with their colourful winged warblers on stilts. The costume troupe from Jarošov nad Nežárkou will not be missing this year either. The culmination of the parade will be the seating of the decorated Kraslicovník on náměstí Míru Square, accompanied by drums, singing and dancing.

The parade will then return to the museum grounds along Svatoyanská Street, where workshops, craft demonstrations and market vendors await visitors. Throughout the day, the flute player Jan Bondra will be playing and at 2:30 pm the Cimbálová kapela Notečka will perform at the Museum of Jindřichův Hradec.

The Easter feast is organised by the Museum of Jindřichův Hradec in cooperation with the town of Jindřichův Hradec, which has prepared an all-day Easter Fair on náměstí Míru. During the Easter Fair you will be able to buy Easter decorations and pomlázky, taste green beer, and most importantly enjoy - lovers of savoury food and sweet delicacies will find their own, so you can have a fair lunch as well as something good with coffee.

There will be an Easter bunny with balloons, face painting and creative workshops for children and adults throughout the day.

Come and enjoy the unique Easter atmosphere and celebrate the arrival of spring with us.
