Times Change – Opening Night of the Prague Pride 2026

Times change. Prague Pride Festival stays. Come celebrate the start of this year's festival with us!

The Festival Opening is always one of the highlights of Prague Pride Festival—a chance to reunite after a year apart, catch up with familiar faces, and once again immerse yourself in the unique Pride atmosphere we've all been waiting for.

✨ Expect an evening packed with iconic music and outstanding performers who have shaped—and continue to shape—the Czech queer scene, from legendary club and drag icons to exciting new stars. Your host for the evening is the charismatic Jan Witek.

🕔 The programme begins at 5:30 PM with two true veterans of the Czech club scene: DJ Henriette, founder of Freedom Night, paired with DJ Vilém, a long-standing house DJ known for his energetic sets featuring live musicians.

👑 At 7:00 PM, the stage belongs to Chi Chi Tornado, the mother of Czech drag, celebrated for her unmistakable style and sharp wit.

💃 At 7:15 PM, we welcome Chica Checa Pala Santa, the drag persona of award-winning actor Jan Cina, offering an intimate glimpse into her world.

🎤 At 7:45 PM, singer Laco Hudec Šubrt introduces Laziza Vuitton, a drag experience born from glitter and applause.

🎶 From 8:00 PM, Jan Witek returns with a special DJ set, Divas & Icons, celebrating the queens and kings of pop across generations.

Come celebrate Pride, freedom, and the music that brings us together! Join us for an unforgettable night as we officially open this year's Prague Pride Festival.
