Music
Drummers, trumpeters and a Czech Christmas Mass
What you need to know
- Charles Bridge gets packed, since this is the most-watched Three Kings procession in the country, so small kids see more from the start or the finish
- A church blessing comes first, at St. Thomas's in Malá Strana; families who only want the camels can wait on Malostranské náměstí instead
- Ends with a concert of Ryba's Czech Christmas Mass on the Old Town Square stage, an easy point to head home if kids are cold
About
Three kings on camels lead a noisy band of drummers and trumpeters through Prague's old center, retelling the Magi's journey to Bethlehem. At the end they hand their gifts to the baby Jesus in a nativity scene. It marks Three Kings Day, the close of Christmas, and kicks off the Three Kings Collection, a charity drive by Prague's Catholic charity. Kids who like animals and marching bands get both.
