The largest celebration of students and spring in Moravia

In the second-largest city of the Czech Republic, Brno, an event takes place every spring that revitalizes the entire city with youthful energy. Brněnský Majáles is a traditional celebration of the arrival of spring and student life that attracts tens of thousands of visitors. In recent years, the festival has settled into the unique environment of the Brněnské výstaviště (Brno Exhibition Centre), which provides a perfect setting for concerts, accompanying events, and an unrepeatable atmosphere. For anyone who wishes to experience a vibrant student city at its best and enjoy performances by top bands, Majáles in Brno is the right choice.

What does Brněnský Majáles offer you?

The main point of the programme is a Saturday open-air festival, where the biggest stars of the Czech and Slovak music scene perform on several stages. In addition to concerts, an essential part is the Majálesový průvod (Majáles Parade), which passes through the city and serves as a showcase of creativity for individual universities. The highlight is the ceremonial election of the King and Queen of Majáles, who symbolically take over the reign of student Brno. Within the exhibition grounds, visitors will also find chill-out zones, food stalls, presentations by student associations and universities, as well as various competitions and attractions.

Who is the event intended for?

Majáles is primarily aimed at university and high school students, who form the core of the audience and compete with each other for the title of king. Thanks to a diverse musical programme and high-quality organisation, however, the festival is open to all age groups, including families with children and fans of live music who wish to enjoy the atmosphere of a magnificent open-air event.

What can you visit in the surroundings?

If you set out for Majáles, be sure to also set aside time for Brno itself. The historical centre with the katedrála sv. Petra a Pavla, hrad Špilberk, and Náměstí Svobody is accessible on foot or by public transport in just a few minutes. For architecture lovers, the famous Vila Tugendhat is located near the exhibition centre (advance booking is required). Visitors may relax in the nearby parks or at Brněnská přehrada, which can be reached by tram.
