Ostravské Vánoce - Prokešovo Square

The Ostrava Christmas market at Prokešovo Square, known as the Art Stage or New Town Hall Scene, offers a uniquely illuminated festive experience beneath the tallest city hall tower in the Czech Republic. This atmospheric location serves as one of five stages during the Ostravské Vánoce celebration, featuring cultural programs and special events in the heart of Ostrava's historic center. The square transforms into a magical setting with the beautifully lit magistrate building creating a stunning backdrop for holiday festivities. Visitors can enjoy the popular Česko zpívá koledy (Czechia Sings Carols) event, which includes afternoon entertainment with children's musical performances, energetic brass band concerts, and communal carol singing with local artists. The market atmosphere blends traditional Czech Christmas charm with modern cultural programming, making it a favorite gathering spot for both locals and tourists. The location's proximity to other Christmas market stages allows visitors to easily explore multiple festive venues throughout the city center. With its architectural grandeur and festive illumination, Prokešovo Square provides an unforgettable Christmas market experience that showcases Ostrava's cultural heritage. Plan to visit during the carol singing event on December 11th for the full festive atmosphere, or explore the square's offerings throughout the extended holiday season from late November through early January.
