The best events in Prague

Náplavka Farmers’ Market is one of Prague’s most popular riverside markets, open every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in spring and summer. It features over 90 stalls offering fresh produce, artisanal specialties, baked goods, cheeses, and other high-quality Czech products.

Beyond shopping, visitors can enjoy live music, street performers, and riverside cafés, stroll with views of Prague Castle, and taste local treats on the spot. The market combines shopping, culture, and a lively weekend atmosphere.

The Divine Stories exhibition is one of the most prominent art events taking place in Prague this season and has drawn significant attention due to the artist behind it, Wolfgang Beltracchi. A highly controversial figure in the art world, Beltracchi presents this exhibition as part of his artistic reinvention.

The works on display are strongly influenced by European Old Masters, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. What makes the exhibition particularly compelling is the contrast between its exploration of authenticity and the artist’s own complex and disputed history.

The 2026 Prague Proms programme has already been announced and offers a diverse selection of film music, themed orchestral concerts, jazz, and crossover projects performed primarily by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra. The festival runs from June to September, with the main events in Prague taking place in June.

Concerts are held at three main venues: Smetana Hall in the Municipal House, The Loop Jazz Club, and the Church of Sts. Simon and Jude. The programme includes a variety of formats, ranging from theatrical and light-hearted performances and classical chamber music in a historic church setting to large orchestral evenings dedicated to iconic film music.

Designblok 2026 is one of Central Europe’s largest design and fashion festivals, bringing together contemporary design, architecture, fashion, art, installations and emerging designers. The festival attracts up to 50,000 visitors each year. This year’s theme is “Light,” exploring light not only through design and technology, but also as a symbol of knowledge, hope and life.

The festival takes place at major Prague venues including Veletržní palác, Průmyslový palác, Prague Castle and the Museum of Decorative Arts, with around 50 galleries, showrooms and design venues participating across the city.

Day of Architecture is a great event to experience alongside Designblok, with a focus on Prague’s architecture, urban development and history rather than product and interior design. Taking place across Prague and other Czech cities, the festival aims to make architecture accessible to the general public.

The 2026 theme, “I live, therefore I am”, explores housing from historical residential architecture to contemporary design, urban development and affordable housing. Highlights include guided tours of Prague’s architectural landmarks, such as Molochov in Letná, a striking Functionalist residential complex, as well as tours exploring Prague’s housing estates and their architectural significance.

Negroni Week is a worldwide celebration of the iconic Negroni cocktail. Rather than taking place at one location, participating bars and restaurants serve the classic Negroni and create their own variations, while supporting Slow Food and charitable causes.

The classic Negroni is made with equal parts gin, Campari and sweet vermouth. Founded by Imbibe Magazine in 2013, the event has grown into a global celebration involving thousands of venues and has raised more than $5 million for charity. Guests can discover creative variations such as the Classic Negroni, Kingston Negroni and Coffee Negroni, making it a great opportunity to explore Prague’s cocktail scene while enjoying a drink for a good cause.
