One event that has grown massively since its introduction is Prague Museum Night. This year more that 180,000 peopel are expected to check out special programs and events at cultural institutes across the city.

The Czech Republic is one of the least religious countries in the world. Oddly, though, most major cities are filled with churches ranging from historical landmarks to hidden gems. Many are only open to the public a few minutes before or after services, and some not even that much. On Church Night (Noc kostelů), these venues reach out to the general public with music, services and tours.

The colors, the dancing and most especially the music is what you’ll take away from any event you attend at this week’s World Roma Festival Khamoro. Organizers hope you’ll remember something else as well. In addition to the Roma music concerts, a fashion show, traditional craft exhibition and theater performances, there will be a two-day international conference on intolerance towards the minority group. It’s this intolerance that first led the founders to begin the festival.

For the 52^nd time already, children and youth will enjoy a week full of films and other activities at the film festival made especially for them at the east Moravian town of Zlín. This year, films and a rich program of activities will focus on Ireland and its culture.
