Pilsner Fest

Traditionally, Pilsen’s first weekend in October is a celebration of its world-renowned beer. Once again, the Pilsner Urquell Brewery will come alive this year with live music, good food, and a multi-genre cultural programme. What can you look forward to aside from the concerts? For starters, the incredible beer, which the best Czech barmen will draft for you. There’s also the draft beer workshop, special brewery tours, contests, and stands uncovering interesting facts from the brewery’s past and present. Apart from the big stage featuring well-known stars, there will also be a smaller stage where talented buskers and newer, just-starting-out bands will perform. A musical by the J.K. Tyl Theatre will also come as a great surprise. And, as with every year at 18:42, the celebratory toast will take place. Why at this specific time? Because the first batch of Pilsner Urquell beer was made in the year 1842.
