[A message from the organiser]
We want to invite all of you to participate in mass launching of Thai lanterns right in the centre of the town on Friday, June 18. The event starts at 8:30 p.m. but the actual launching will take place approximately an hour later, at 9:30 p.m. The location, park Kraví Hora, is easily accessible from the centre of Brno by tram no. 4. You only need to get off at the last stop called Náměstí Míru and walk in direction to observatory.

As success of this event depends entirely on the weather, we highly recommend you to visit this event on Facebook and find out whether it is postpone to June 25 due to the weather or not.

Lanterns cost CZK 100. Remember that CZK 10 will be donated to NGO providing a social service to deaf people.

Don’t forget to bring markers and lighters with you!

Print out the enclosed leaflet, arrive first at Kravi Hora and you can enjoy a lantern for free!
