Líšeň Carnival
Líšeň Carnival take place since 2012 thanks to the creative collaboration between the Ethnographic Company Líšeň and Líšeň Theatre. This rediscovered custom builds upon a famous tradition of the winter carnivals of the 18th and 19th century that were held before being interrupted by the First World War.
