One of the highlights of spring celebrations in the town is the traditional Olomouc Majáles of Palacký University, taking place from 6 to 8 May. Majáles offers more than music, film, and theatre programmes: it is also the largest showcase of student and non-profit organisations, accompanied with contests, workshops and other programmes for all. This year, its motto is Without Borders – to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Czech Republic’s accession to the European Union.

You can look forward to a dozen shows, including concerts by Barbora Poláková, Michal Horák, DJ duo Malalata, Anděl Awards nominee Pam Rabbit, as well as theatrical performances, film screenings, exhibitions, workshops, and talks.
