Khamoro 2026
Praha – různá místa, Prague
The world's largest professional Romani festival, Khamoro (meaning "little sun" in Romani), has been held in Prague since 1999 by the organizations Slovo 21 and Studio Production Saga. Over its lifetime, the festival has hosted more than 270 bands from 35 countries, with supergroups such as Mahala Rai Banda, Kočani Orkestar, and Parno Graszt performing on its stages.
Khamoro is far more than concerts. Each year it offers a diverse supporting programme: exhibitions, theatre performances, a traditional parade through Prague's city centre, a children's day, witness testimonies, film screenings, dance workshops, and professional conferences. The festival regularly attracts approximately 10,000 visitors from the Czech Republic and abroad.
The festival's core mission is to bridge the Romani minority and mainstream society through art. From its inception, it has been supported by figures including Václav Havel. Khamoro holds the EFFE Label award — a European quality mark for exceptional festivals.
