Description was written before the event

The 11th edition of the Ceremonial Concert for Czech Statehood Day takes place in the Church of St. Martin in Slatiňany.

The programme features Jiří Hájek, soloist from the National Theatre Prague opera, and opera singer Emma Hubáčková.

About the venue: Slatiňany Swimming Pool

The municipal open-air swimming pool on Škrovádské nábřeží has a large pool (54 × 26 m, depth 1-1.8 m) with starting blocks and a shallow paddling pool for children. The grounds include grassy sunbathing areas, wooden sundecks, a beach volleyball court and a Fit-Park. There are no slides or water chutes - the calm feel is closer to a classic interwar lido. A snack kiosk operates on site. The town also holds summer events here, including the traditional Children's Day and open-air concerts.
