The ninth edition of the Kvílení community festival is here! This year it is dedicated to Bohumila Grögerová, and thanks to her, the festival has its subtitle: "New Voices Are Needed!"

After a three-day experiment, we are returning to a single-day format with a packed programme:

About the venue: Točna Dlabačov

Bistro Točna occupies the reconstructed Dlabačov tram loop in Prague 6, built in 1948 to carry crowds to Sokol and Spartakiad events at the nearby Strahov Stadium. The main seating is inside a retired Tatra T3 tram car, with more spots on the historic overpass and the surrounding area. The menu runs to home-cooked dishes and the house-brand Točená beer from the Kročehlavy brewery in Kladno. In summer the loop hosts small live concerts, and the historic circular tram line 42 departs from here.
