Where does the walk finish?

At KC Zahrada on Malenická, also in Jižní Město, where the angels and the film are. If you parked at Chodov Fortress, plan for the walk back to the car.

Can we join just for the walk?

Yes. The procession leaves from the fortress courtyard, so you can meet it there. Kids who skip the workshop will want a lantern of their own.

What you need to know

Lantern made on the spot at the craft workshop, so there is nothing to buy or bring
The walk starts at dusk, and early November evenings in Prague are cold: hats and gloves help
Weather can move it: the organizer may postpone or cancel in bad weather, so check their site that afternoon

About

A neighborhood lantern walk for Dušičky, the Czech day for remembering the dead. Kids start at a craft table in Chodov Fortress, making the lantern they will carry, then the crowd sets off at dusk through Jižní Město to KC Zahrada. Angels from Divadlo Kvelb meet the walkers in the garden, and the evening ends with a fairy-tale film. Best for preschoolers and early primary kids.
