Will there be more details before the day?

Yes. The organizer has announced Saturday, December 5 from 4pm and says the rest of the program will follow.

Do kids need to speak Czech?

About

Mikuláš, the Czech St. Nicholas, comes to Kampa with angels and devils to hand out gifts to kids, and the neighborhood switches on its Christmas tree on the island by the Vltava. It is an open-air, local evening that suits kids who like a costumed visitor, and the tree lighting gives everyone a reason to linger.
