About
Masopust is the Czech carnival before Lent, and Žižkov throws a neighborhood-sized one. Families in masks follow a live band through the streets, watch the carnival take over the district at the town hall, then pile into the park. There it ends with a mask contest, a theater show and a band that sends the season off by "burying the double bass", a carnival ritual.
