Historic weekend of ghosts and carnival in Pilsen

The city of Pilsen in Western Bohemia is home to not only the famous Pilsner beer but also to traditional and distinctive historic weekends.

This year, at the weekend from 12 to 14 June, groups of historical fencers, musicians, actors and dancers will perform at several stages in the city centre.

The old traditions will be brought back to life by guilds of blacksmiths, bakers, butchers and brewers. You will take a look into their “kitchen” and, moreover, you will have an opportunity to experience some of their crafts first-hand. On Saturday, 12 June, the greatest number of ghosts and ghouls of all time will endeavour to assemble here in order to enter The Guinness Book of Records.
