The Czech summer festival season continues with a diverse array of musical, cultural, and sporting events. The Hrady CZ festival expanded its reach with concerts at Veveří Castle in Brno, featuring artists such as Daniel Landa and Rybičky 48. Music programming has remained eclectic. The Brutal Assault festival provided an intense metal program with acts including Triptykon and Thy Art Is Murder, while the tenth edition of the Dobršská brána festival focused on jazz, classical, and world music. In Pardubice, Friends Fest celebrated American culture and the centenary of Route 66 with motor shows and concerts by David Koller and Marpo. Regional activities have integrated heritage, sports, and family entertainment. Notable events include the Czech Tourist Trophy motorcycle race, the Račí stezka hike in the Jablonec and Semily regions, and the 20th anniversary of the Dračí lodě Vysočina dragon boat races. Cultural depth has been added through architectural exhibitions in Prague exploring 1930s functionalist cottages and the ‘Hradozámecká noc’ (Castle Night), which allows nighttime tours of various monuments. Community-focused programming includes the Slavnosti jeřabin festival in Žďár nad Sázavou, featuring drum performances and light shows, and the Újezdské babí léto folk and country festival in Dolní Újezd. In late August, the Havlíčkův Brod region hosted traditional crafts such as glass and metal smelting, pottery, and blacksmithing in the Vlkovsko area. This period also featured the 44th annual Jaroslav Hašek long-distance walk and cycling event, a potato-themed festival in Nová Ves u Světlé, and musical performances by Endlessly Clueless and the Petr Gazdík Acoustic Band. As the season transitions into September, the Pardubice region continues with the Brandýs nad Orlicí multi-genre festival, the Chrudim harvest festival, and a railway model exhibition in Chocen. The Pardubice racecourse hosted the final qualification for the Velká Pardubická horse race.
