What to do this weekend in Prague: Best events for May 1–3

Troja Chateau hosts a group exhibition using the labyrinth as metaphor for human thinking, life's path, and fear of the unknown. Nine Czech artists tackle key social questions through installations that confront visitors with their own positions: Vojtěch Hrubant's Relief Evolution on conformity, Veronika Homolová's Map of Fear confronting phobias, Tereza Bartůňková's Spring working with darkness and mirrors for self-encounter, Eva Koťátková's Machine for Restoring Empathy creating space for care and mutual support.

Four Seasons' Gallery Lounge celebrates spring with Bloom the Season Afternoon Tea. Enjoy veal tartlet with beetroot and basil, lobster with citrus and parmesan, celery with mushroom mousse and truffle, plus sweet courses like strawberry-vanilla cream, citrus tartlet, chocolate variations, and freshly baked scones with butter, jam, and clotted cream. The lounge transforms into a delicately blooming space with floral accents for the season.

Laterna magika brings Baron Prášil (Baron Munchausen) to Stavovské divadlo in a wordless multimedia production where the legendary fantasist faces trial in a dystopian near-future that criminalizes imagination. Radim Vizváry plays Prášil without speaking, his tall tales told through film projections, live drawings by illustrator Galina Miklínová, bunraku-style puppets, and former prima ballerina Nikola Márová dancing as a dying swan the baron tries to save instead of hunt.

Prague's legendary student festival returns Friday for its 20th year since revival, beginning with a free parade launching 9:30 a.m. from Smíchovská náplavka toward Strossmayerovo náměstí. Four floats will carry live bands through the streets before the main festival grounds open at Letňany at 10:30 a.m.. Three stages deliver pop-rock nostalgia, rap and urban, and a brand-new dance stage headlined by world-class drum'n'bass: Rudimental (returning after 14 years), Sigma, and Dimension flying in direct from Coachella.

The Libertines and Babyshambles frontman brings his solo act to MeetFactory Sunday. Peter Doherty will perform the ramshackle poetry and ragged guitar work that made him a tabloid fixture and cult hero in equal measure. Expect new material and Libertines/Babyshambles classics.

Bio Oko transforms inside and out Friday for the neighborhood festival celebrating May Day, with all-day film programming in the cinema hall, outdoor bar, food from Letná's Sushi Otokomae and The Boršč, bazaar stalls, and workshops. Films to be screened include The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and The Devil Wears Prada 2.

New Town Hall hosts a special fairy tale version of the Invisible Exhibition designed for kids ages 4–8. Children navigate total darkness completing fairy tale tasks, meeting Cinderella, Goldilocks, and various animals while experiencing magical adventures that help them overcome fear of the dark. The sensory experience teaches kids to trust their non-visual senses while guides (visually impaired educators) lead them through spaces where touch, sound, and imagination replace sight. Foreign language tours are available upon request.

Berlin Vintage brings select vintage goods to Gabriel Loci's breathtaking complex Saturday, including premium leather jackets, denim jackets, wool pieces, designer clothing, and the kind of curated finds you don't see at regular vintage markets.
