Description was written before the event

The largest event commemorating the occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1968.

About the venue: Krizik Fountain

Křižík's Light Fountain at the Prague Exhibition Grounds in Holešovice is a technical monument designed by the inventor and electrical engineer František Křižík. It first lit up on 24 May 1891 for the Jubilee Land Exhibition, and after a major reconstruction it reopened in 1991. Today's fountain has a 1,500 m² pool, over 3,000 jets and 1,248 underwater lights, all controlled by computer. The surrounding amphitheatre seats more than 6,000 and hosts light-and-music shows, concerts and musicals.
