What to do this weekend in Prague: Best events for July 31–August 2

Last chance to see the latest exhibition of talented Czech-German-American multimedia artist Phila Primus at the Ethera contemporary art gallery in Prague 1, an artistic exploration of how drawing and layered forms continuously assemble and intersect without guidance or a fixed center.

For those who miss the sea and its delicacies in our beautiful but tragically landlocked Czechia, come enjoy a Sunday seafood brunch at Občanská plovárna right by the river. Sea bass, octopus, mackerel, mussels, tuna tartare, tiger shrimps and much more offered in a beautiful setting to up your brunch game.

Jazz up your weekend at Prague’s iconic Reduta club with a concert of Oklahoma-born showman and longtime Prague resident artist Lee Andrew Davison exploring legendary hits of soul and jazz featuring some of the best Czech musicians of the genre.

A new addition to Prague’s sprawling list of food and urban markets, Energy Pub’s Groovy Market Fest brings culinary stalls, design brands, local artists and live music to the heart of Riegrovy sady this Saturday. Chill vibes guaranteed, also great for children and families.

Local icon of the Czech electronic scene Ventolin and regular collaborator DJ Johuš Matuš come to Cross Club on Saturday to celebrate the Holešovice venue’s 25th birthday in grand style. A can’t miss, Ventolin always delivers.

John Waters’ cult 1988 comedy Hairspray, centering around self-declared chubby teen Tracy aspiring to stardom at a local Baltimore pop show in the 1960s, comes to Edison Filmhub on Friday preceded by a drag show featuring celebrities of the local drag scene like Rudy Daddy and La Cuntessa.

For both young and old, the DOX Centre for Contemporary is holding a special family art workshop on Saturday to spark the creative spirit and sense of artistic adventure of children (from the age of 5) in relation to the gallery's ongoing exhibition Hit By News.

The recurring Dyzajn market is back this weekend at the Holešovice market with over 130 local designers, artists and craftspeople exhibiting their latest productions, from jewelry and clothing to toys, candles, decorations and accessories. The design market comes together with a mini food festival, so visitors don’t have to shop on a growling empty stomach.
