Jičín – Town of Fairy-tales

Every year, the second week of September turns Jičín into a fairy-tale realm where children take over the town. The festival Jičín – Town of Fairy-tales is renowned all over the country.

The traditional fairy-tale festival, which marks the end of high season, has been taking place in the second week of September since 1990. While mainly for children, adults will find their own entertainment as well. The varied programme is full to the brim with games, crafts, music and dance. The theme of the festival, which is different every year, sets the tone of the programme. An annual parade of fairy-tale characters opens the festival. A spectacular firework display is the pinnacle of the festival on Saturday night.
