The grassy meadow in Zluty Lázně was occupied by small and large wizards and witches. The program for the whole family especially kept the little ones busy, who were waiting for the mysterious Witch’s Trail with a gift.
“There were also competitions, a show full of dancing and singing with Bára Ladrová, singing by the fire with Petr Škarohlíd, or popular fairground attractions. The whole program was accompanied by the moderator Jan Meruna,” specified Hana Tietze, spokeswoman for the Žluté Lázně complex. The So Fine band performed three times during the evening, playing domestic and foreign hits.

Visitors could also roast a spekáček directly on the fire or taste another delicacy from the specialties of the local cuisine. The witches’ gathering lasted until late at night. After dark, everyone enjoyed a magical after-party with DJ Michal Kozlíček.
