About
Čarodějnice is the Czech spring custom of burning a straw witch on a bonfire to see off winter, and Prague 6 hosts one of the city's busiest in Park Ladronka. Kids come dressed as witches and wizards, walk a witch trail, enter the costume contest, try an escape game, peek into a mobile planetarium and watch kids' theater, while Czech bands play the main stage until the witch goes up in flames.
