For example, dance choreography and parades revived the wider center of Prague. The weekend program then ended with a brave acrobat who calls herself Kristýna Spirulina from the VOSA Theater ensemble. The atmosphere was also made more pleasant by groups of dancing tourists to the music of DJ Pierre Urban.
But that was just the beginning. A music and dance European parade with the flags of the EU member states and Prague is prepared for Thursday 30 June and Friday 1 July. The route will lead from Hradčanské náměstí over Charles Bridge and Mariánské náměstí on Staroměstské náměstí.

On the same days, the Expedition Behind the Lion’s Heart will be created, when a monumental puppet of a Czech lion and “flying” falcons will appear on Mariánské and Staroměstské náměstí.
On Thursday evening, there is also a special parade of glowing puppets from The Visitors, which symbolize the inhabitants of the water world. It leaves Mariánské náměstí to Staroměstské náměstí, Kampa and back to Mariánské náměstí.
