If you live in New York, then czech out the Czech Center’s annual street festival on Saturday, October 5th to celebrate Czech Independence Day.
Several years ago, I started going regularly to the Czech Center when I got back from living in Prague. The Czech offers Czech movie screenings, art exhibitions, language classes and puppet shows–and it never disappoints. Saturday’s celebration will include Czech food vendors, live music, workshops and the Staropramen Party in the evening with a special performance by the Czech band Tata Bojs. And if you want to learn Czech (with my former Czech tutor and good friend), then sign up for some Czech classes while you’re there–and czech out their other upcoming events…

Time: 12 pm-5 pm
Place: 73rd Street between 1st and 2nd Avenue
STAROPRAMEN PARTY 5pm-9pm
