Pískoviště 2026

The festival transforms the city into a space for play and art. Pískoviště is a traditional family street festival that annually revives the historic center and the banks of the Otava River in Písek. It connects artists and local communities and invites them to actively participate. Contemporary art, interactive entertainment and community creation are intertwined here. It is an opportunity to experience Písek differently – playfully, inspiringly and together. Traditional festival events include the opening of a seasonal experiential exhibition in the premises of the Písek Distillery, the largest play gallery for children and their adults in the Czech Republic. A symposium of sand sculptures, in which artists create impressive, temporary installations from sand. Or the traditional dragon boat races on the Otava River, which give the festival a sporty spirit and atmosphere.
