What to do this weekend in Prague: Best events for Sept. 19–21

The city’s biggest festival of illustration and comics is back. This year's theme, New Forms of Fragility, brings together international illustration stars with over 60 emerging artists. Alongside the exhibitions you’ll find workshops, artist talks, and children’s zones.

Gabriel Loci will erupt in color, flavor, and fiesta vibes this weekend as Agave Fest Prague makes its debut, celebrating the rich culture of Mexican agave. Sip premium tequilas and mezcals at expert-led tastings and masterclasses, then dive into an artisan market bursting with Oaxacan textiles, handmade crafts, and irresistible street food. Lucha libre matches, mariachi music, and even a mechanical bull bring the party to life.

Pop rising star Lauren Spencer Smith makes her Prague debut with The Art of Being a Mess Tour at SaSaZu on Friday. Known for emotional anthems like Fingers Crossed and That Part, she channels raw introspection into cathartic, arena-sized tunes you’ll want to scream along to.

Expect four nights of electrifying performances that blur the lines between burlesque, drag, performance art, and theatre at Palác Akorpolis. With bold visuals, glittering costumes, and stories that challenge tradition, this festival is all about radical freedom and fearless expression.

Catch the cult classic DOGMA back on the big screen at Edison Filmhub this weekend with a dazzling new 4K remaster and exclusive bonus content. Kevin Smith’s satirical fantasy comedy about two rogue angels threatening the universe is as irreverent, absurd, and thought-provoking as ever. The fun continues with a DJ afterparty and live tattooing, plus an angels-and-demons costume competition.

Krymská Street in Vršovice will be transformed into Prague’s most spirited street-festival on Saturday, starting at noon. With traffic banned for the day, the bars, restaurants, shops, and local galleries spill into the street. The atmosphere is part boulevard festival, part block party.

Pickles Prague Festival is back to sour up your Sunday, turning autumn’s harvest into a tangy street-food celebration. Taste your way through pickled cucumbers, sauerkraut, kimchi, chili, beetroot, and more from top farmers, alongside inventive eats like burgers with cucumber, kimchi hotdogs, fries with relish, and even cucumber ice cream and prosecco.
