What to do this weekend in Prague: Best events for July 11–13

From July 7–13, Prague’s City Gallery (GHMP) is hosting Creative Week: 7 Days – 7 Buildings – 7 Workshops, a hands-on art adventure across the city’s top cultural venues. Each afternoon, explore a new location—from the Colloredo‑Mansfeld Palace to Troja Chateau’s orangery—where free-flowing workshops respond directly to current exhibitions and public sculptures, inviting anyone to dive into drawing, upcycling, photogramming, AR/AI gaming, photography, and collage.

Sip, sparkle, and celebrate at Bubliny na Střeláku this Saturday on the lush Štvanice Island. Discover a curated selection of bubbles—from Moravian sekt to international prosecco and frizzante—poured by passionate small-scale winemakers you won’t find on supermarket shelves. Enjoy a laid-back afternoon of live music, modern gastronomy, and bubbly-themed competitions, all set against the backdrop of summer by the river.

Say goodbye in style at Stalin’s final techno blowout on Saturday, as the iconic venue hosts one last night of unforgettable energy beneath its legendary pendulum. With Ncol and Blanchita on deck, expect a full-throttle ride of pulsing beats and raw atmosphere at one of Prague’s most unique open-air spaces. This is your last chance to dance at Stalin, so don’t miss the farewell that’s already becoming the stuff of local legend. Come early, stay late, and leave it all on the floor.

From July 9–15, Prague bursts into life with Za dveřmi, the 17th annual Street Theatre Festival, featuring free outdoor performances across four vibrant venues: Holešovice Market, Mariánské náměstí, Holport, and Štvanice. Expect a kaleidoscope of artistry—giant puppets, acrobatics on chimneys, visual spectacles like France’s La tortue de Gauguin on a ten-meter frame, and street acts by Czech and international troupes. This week-long cultural playground turns Prague into a living stage, no tickets required.

Dive into chilling true-story horror with The Ritual, screening at cinemas around Prague this weekend. Starring Al Pacino and Dan Stevens as two priests confronting a harrowing exorcism, the film re-enacts the most documented case of demonic possession in U.S. history, set against a stark and tense 1928 convent backdrop. With visceral performances and unsettling ritual scenes, it's part-theological drama, part-supernatural thriller. Catch an English-language screening for a dose of intense cinema this weekend.

Mark your calendars for the 17th annual French Market, returning to Kampa Park from July 10–13, transforming the cobbled square under Charles Bridge into a taste of la belle France. Enjoy a curated selection of French delights including oysters, Burgundy snails, truffle-infused crêpes, pâtés, and a fine array of Alsace, Bordeaux, Champagne, and Loire wines.

Join the wild and whimsical Zvířecí paráda – Puppet Parade through the streets of Prague on Saturday, starting from Mariánské náměstí. This playful procession celebrates animal spirit and creativity with giant, handcrafted puppets from Tvorba La Bulba, V.O.S.A. Theatre, and Divadlo T.E.J.P, inviting everyone to join in the fun. The parade weaves through Old Town, blending vibrant pageantry, theatrical flair, and family joy in open-air performance.
