Elimon FRESH festival Slavkov u Brna 2026

Elimon FRESH festival 2026 takes place on Saturday and Sunday, 30–31 May, in the castle park in Slavkov u Brna. The festival combines gastronomy with culture and features the restaurants Long Story Short by Petr Heneš (Michelin Bib Gourmand award), Yamaya by chef Marek Hora, and for the first time DIAN with Petr Brňák.

The heart of the festival is the Legendary Feast – a large communal table where visitors can sit down with food from the stalls. A new feature in 2026 is FABINI Cooking School, where participants can try cooking alongside leading chefs. The main Elimon Cooking & Music stage will feature Zdeněk Pohlreich, Mirka van Gils Slavíková, Pavel Berky, Adam Rundus, Twí, Petja Fonda and others.

The programme also includes cooking competitions, Heinz Grill Academy, the Asian zone Wok & Spices, a beer-pouring school (in collaboration with Štatl and Bohém breweries), a wine zone and a competition for the best burger restaurant. For families with children, there is an Elimon zone with free ice cream, an inflatable obstacle course and children's attractions. The evening programme Tribute to Legends takes place as part of the Culture Under the Stars project.

The venue is open on Saturday from 10:00 to 20:00 and on Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00. Entry is possible through the main castle gate from the Town Hall or from Furgnerova Street or U Stadionu Street.
