Celebration of the Five-Petalled Rose turns Český Krumlov, Czech Republic into a Renaissance stage each June, on the weekend closest to the summer solstice, celebrating the city’s golden age under the Rožmberk (Rosenberg) dynasty—whose emblem was the five-petalled rose (known locally as Slavnosti pětilisté růže). Expect a grand costumed procession through the UNESCO-listed old town, lively craft markets, historical music and theatre, and crowd-pleasing knightly tournaments around the castle district.
