What to do this weekend in Prague: Best events for June 27–29

The historic Café Louvre on Národní třída is opening an exciting new exhibit full of iconic paintings and pop-art treasures spanning nearly a century of creativity—from Picasso’s groundbreaking Cubism and Matisse’s vibrant Fauvism to Warhol’s bold silkscreens. Pop in for an early evening coffee or tea and immerse yourself in the crossroads of modern art and Prague's timeless café culture.

Fire up your Saturday, with Grilování v Prokopáku s Black Dogem, a vibrant outdoor BBQ at Pivovar Prokopák hosted in collaboration with Black Dog. From 11 a.m., savor mouthwatering burgers, smoky BBQ dishes, and expertly brewed craft beers while soaking up the forested atmosphere of Prokopské údolí—no tickets needed.

You can still nab tickets to catch indie-pop heroes Foster the People live at SaSaZu tonight, marking their long-awaited return to Prague after eight years. The Grammy-nominated duo will perform their danceable hits—including “Pumped Up Kicks”—alongside tracks from their new album Paradise State of Mind.

Witness a powerful reinvention of a timeless myth with MÉDEA at Divadlo Ponec on Sunday. This daring, women-led adaptation by TEATR FORMA reinterprets the ancient tragedy from a bold female perspective, tracing Medea’s emotional journey of betrayal, loss, and liberation in a 90‑minute visceral performance. Performed entirely in English with impactful sound design and a cast of five women, the piece strips the myth to its raw essence—“flames that burn the past to ashes, so something new can rise."

Step into the revolutionary spirit of the 1960s with Sedmikrásky (Daisies), screening at Kino Atlas on Saturday. Directed by Věra Chytilová, this landmark of the Czechoslovak New Wave follows two rebellious 'Marías' who stage a colorful, anarchic prank-filled critique of bourgeois norms, blending surreal visuals with biting satire. Presented in Czech with English subtitles, this 1966 classic remains shockingly fresh—and is being played at one of Prague’s most atmospheric art-house cinemas, complete with cozy café and leafy gallery space to linger in after the credits roll.

Marvel at the vibrant Ratha‑Yatra Festival sweeping through Prague on Sunday, starting at Náměstí Republiky. This spectacular Indian chariot procession invites you to pull decorated rathas (chariots) honoring the deities Jagannātha, Balarāma, and Subhadrā through the historic city center, accompanied by lively music, dance, and aromatic vegetarian food—completely free to attend. From 3 p.m., enjoy a colorful festival village filled with Vedic philosophy exhibits, traditional dance, mantra singing, and free vegetarian meals under the open sky.

Celebrate the end of the school year with a sweet treat on Friday at the Dancing House Café. Bring along your child from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. with their latest report card—no matter how they did—and they’ll receive a complimentary cup of delicious ice cream while you enjoy excellent coffee and stunning views of Prague Castle. It’s a fun way to reward effort and beat the early summer heat.

The audiovisual exhibition INVINCIBLE has been launched in the Lucerna Passage as part of the anniversary observances of Milada Horáková's execution. Open until the end of the week, the exhibit recounts Horáková’s life and her tragic death by hanging after being convicted of conspiracy and treason in a Stalinist show trial 75 years ago. A range of other commemorative services will also take place across the city.
