Party Off-Program—Open Air Stage with the Opening Ceremony, Evening Parties

The Open Air Stage is a biggest event of the festival. This year the Organizing team would like to present this event at the beginning of the festival and connect it with the Opening Ceremony. The Open Air Stage is a way how to spread the public awareness of the festival and invite visitors for the festival week and the main programme. There are relatively well-known artists presented on the stage as well as students of JAMU with their bands. In past years for example Katarzia, Katarína Máliková or The Teepee band were performing. The Opening Ceremony starts with a huge parade going through the city centre to welcome and present all participants. https://www.encounter.cz/en/parties/
