The major events in Prague and Bohemia in 2027, season by season: classical music, film, design and Christmas markets. What is certain, what is still to be confirmed and how to prepare with a private concierge.
Prague · 2027 calendar
In short: the Prague Spring festival traditionally opens on 12 May, the Dvořák festival fills the Rudolfinum in September, the Karlovy Vary film festival takes place every summer and the Christmas markets return with Advent. The 2027 dates of each event are published by the organisers: we confirm them before any booking.
Spring: Prague Spring
The Prague Spring International Music Festival (Pražské jaro), founded in 1946, traditionally opens on 12 May, the anniversary of Bedřich Smetana’s death, with his symphonic cycle My Country (Má vlast). The 2027 programme will be announced by the festival. Concerts take place notably at the Municipal House (Obecní dům) and the Rudolfinum. Spring is also the season of Easter markets and the Prague Marathon, which changes traffic on race day.
Summer: Karlovy Vary and Bohemia
The Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, one of Europe’s oldest film festivals, takes place every summer in the spa town, around two hours’ drive from Prague. We arrange transfers, residence and programme around the festival. The 2027 dates will be published by the organisers. Our Karlovy Vary International Film Festival page explains our role as an intermediary and its limits.
