Majáles, a celebration of spring and student life, is a month-long series of events such as concerts, exhibitions, workshops, discussions, and sports competitions, with the grand finale being an open-air festival held at Brno Exhibition Centre on May 5.
The festivities began in April with the erecting of a wooden statue named ‘Majka’ in náměstí Svobody, marking the beginning of the ‘month of students’.
Brno’s Majáles has been held every year since 2004. During this time, the location of the open-air festival has changed a couple of times, finally settling at the Brno Exhibition Centre.
Students and student associations from all the major universities in Brno and from several high schools co-operate in its preparation.
Regular tickets cost CZK 580, while VIP tickets cost CZK 999. You can purchase your tickets here.
