Brno, Jun 2 (BD) – The birds are chirping, summer is coming and that’s not all: the music festival season is here! Rock music, more fireworks, more beer and cocktails, motosurfing – and for those who want to relax, greenery, art and more are available!

Jan Vermouzek, a Czech programmer and photographer will be opening his new photography exhibition about his trip in Eastern Siberia on June 3 at 6 PM, at the Open Gardens. Before coming, you can learn more about the artist and go through his portfolio.

From Saturday in the same place, the Open Gardens Weekend will be hosting workshops by master florists, who will also be presenting traditional herbs. From 11 AM, there will be a guided tour of the gardens. The activities featured are in Czech, but you don’t need to speak a foreign language to enjoy nature and the smell of flowers! Find more on their Facebook page.

Artists have been long discussing the significance of art in public spaces. This and other thoughts guide the art exhibition Sculptures in the Streets 2019 – I am a dependent Object. On Tuesday at 6 PM the exhibition opens its door, and you can visit it until 11 August. Find more information and a full description of the exhibition on the museum website.

Were you impressed by the previous fireworks shows? Be prepared to be impressed twice as much with two more pyrotechnics shows in Brno this week! The colorful lights from Portugal and Philippines will be in the air on Wednesday and on Saturday. More information on the IGNIS Brunensis fireworks festival’s website.

Do you want to enjoy Saturday’s fireworks and make a good deed? Get on board the Charity Boat. Watch the fireworks from water while dancing to saxophonist, violinist and DJ music! Don’t forget to respect the sailor and to bring your retro dress code! Get your tickets here (drinks and food included in the price).

Summer is coming, and it’s time to surf! If you don’t know how to, come and see the surfers on June 6 at the MotoSurf WorldCup Brno 2019 at Brno Dam. We didn’t want to flood you with too much information, so find more on the Facebook event.

Immerse yourself in Czech traditions! Folk dance performances are scheduled everyday at 4:30 PM from Thursday to Saturday. The event will take place on Voříškova street. More information (only in Czech) available here.

Social life is better online, but if you REALLY have to go outside, why not go to the Fortnite Show at the Semilasso Culture Centre on June 8? More information can be found on the website (only in Czech).

Were the previous runs too easy for you? Do you prefer to workout instead? No worries, Workout Tour 2019 powered by Spartan will take place on June 8, making your weekend look more adventurous. Register online before coming for free and get more information here.
