COLLECTIVE DRESSING OF THE MAYPOLE AND ERECTING THE MAYPOLE:
ALL THE STARS ABOVE KRUMLOV: An early evening festive collage of concerts by Krumlov's popular bands, Abigail, Black Bottom and Orient, and a light excursion to Krumlov's history.
LIGHTING THE BONFIRE: A lantern procession, ending with a festive lighting of a large bonfire. Why not bring your own sausages to roast on a stick, or buy one from a stall, including all the dressings. Bring your own stick anyway: failing own sausage, you can always use it to hang your lantern.
