Every first Saturday in May, the citizens of
Prague welcome people from around the world to join them in
celebrating the rich Czech culture that played a vital role
in the city's founding. The Kolache Festival offers dance,
song, food, crafts, a parade, carnival rides, and royalty.
The festival symbolizes the warmth and fellowship of the Bohemian
people. We are proud of the heritage we celebrate and invite
you to this wonderful celebration.
Visit our local businesses, eat your fill of Kolaches - our
famous Czech dessert, a sweet roll with fruit center - and
Klobasneks, and get to know our town and townspeople. Check
out the Entertainment Grandstand located on Main Street at
the City Park. There will be Czech music playing there all
afternoon by the band Czech & Then Some from Ennis, Texas.
The Arts & Crafts Show located in the parking lot along Main
Street behind BancFirst. The exciting carnival, the food booths,
and the parade. Make sure you stay for the Concerts and Street
Dancing starting at 7:00 pm. You won't want to miss the Chicken
Dance - always a highlight of the evening.
