Thousands of Olomouc residents and visitors from all corners of the country joined in the celebrations of the Olomouc City Festival over the weekend. This year, it was combined with the traditional Festival of Songs and the opening of the Slovak Season, which will bring a rich showcase of Slovak culture, gastronomy and art to Olomouc until the end of the year.
The celebrations began with a traditional procession in honour of St. Pauline, the patron saint of Olomouc, which set off on Friday evening from Horní náměstí to Dolní náměstí. This time, too, there were historical costumes and carriages. The dance evening under the starry sky was also a huge success, with the Upper Square transformed into a dance floor with dozens of dancers. Families with children in particular enjoyed a varied weekend programme, with choirs singing from all corners of the historic centre. The city also celebrated its patron saint, St. Pauline, with a unique publication that brings her life story to life. It is available at the information centre in the town hall arcade.
