Quarter Kamenná kolonie, the most poetic place of Brno (see a detailed guide with a map), hosts a quite interesting event on Saturday, May 1. You will be able to:

  • Buy some jewelry and other stuff from do-it-yourself fashion labels and gadgeteers.
  • Enjoy an art exhibition in Sixty Stone Space gallery.
  • Taste some original Spanish paella.
  • Have fun in the narrow streets.
  • And, of course, drink as much cold beers and eat as much warm sausages as you can handle.

I think this is a perfect way of spending the Labour Day and the National Love Day!
