If you are a fan of alternative culture, don’t miss Burning beats factory party, which takes place in old Zbrojovka factory from Thursday, June 10, to Saturday, June 12.

There will be dozens of bands and DJs, several dance performances and many exhibitions of visual art. You can find a complete schedule on the official website of the event.

Thanks to sponsors (including a local “grow shop”), Burning beats factory party, the entrance fee will be voluntary.

Zbrojovka is located in neighborhood Zábrdovice. During the second half of the 20th century it manufactured weapons – that is why guns are called “Brno” in Iraq even now. The area is now half-abandoned and the buildings will be torn down in the next decade, to make space for a new residential quarter.
