What is there for younger kids?

The organizers promise a record number of kids' activities, and part of the street becomes a children's playground. Installations like Anton VB and the Velvet brunch are easy to drop into, while most stage talks are in Czech.

Dress warm. It's mid-November in Prague and most of the day happens outside on the street.

Is there more to do that week?

Yes. Týden svobody (Freedom Week) runs theater, debates and exhibitions about freedom and democracy across the Czech Republic from November 11 to 17.

About

Korzo Národní is the country's largest civic event marking the Velvet Revolution anniversary. Národní třída closes to traffic, and about 600 meters of street turn into an open-air gallery, debate stage, concert stage, literary living room and kids' playground. Most of the program is talks, debates and podcasts in Czech, so it suits school-age kids and teens best. Younger kids can stick to the activities, installations and music.
