The program opened with classical Czech fairy tales. Jarka Holasov\u00e1 brought to life Bo\u017eena N\u011bmcov\u00e1\u2019s story &#8216;The Little Hen.&#8217; Later, Vi.tvor\u2019s puppet show &#8216;Long, Broad, and Sharp-Eyed&#8217; presented the audience with intricate wooden puppets. As night fell, singer Jana V\u00e9brov\u00e1 enchanted listeners with her poetic songs, accompanied by Petr Tich\u00fd on the double bass, creating a magical atmosphere. The evening culminated in a torchlit procession through the city streets. Soldiers in uniform led the way from Bastion IV, honoring Josefov\u2019s founder, Emperor Joseph II, with a solemn wreath-laying ceremony at his statue on the other side of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\">Saturday: A Full-Day Historical Journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Saturday offered a rich program that showcased both the military and civilian aspects of life in Josefov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The action began on Masaryk Square, where the imperial army arrived in a grand parade, followed by Emperor Joseph II himself. A short theatrical scene re-enacted a moment from 1784, highlighting the multicultural workforce that constructed the fortress. A humorous skit depicted a conversation between the emperor and the workers, each speaking a different language \u2013 Czech, Hungarian, German, and Polish. Visitors also marveled at demonstrations of falconry, halberd drills, and elegant period dances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The Pressburg Trio performed at the Church of the Ascension of the Lord. Their program featured classical and romantic music on period instruments, with Vladim\u00edr Ondrej\u010d\u00e1k (SK) on the Viennese guitar, Radka Kub\u00ednov\u00e1 (CZ) on the transverse flute, and Krzysztof Bialasik (PL) on the natural horn. The concert\u2019s theme was &#8220;Joseph II, Mozart, and Early Romanticism in Music&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">At Bastion IV, which has long been the home of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/umelecka.kolonie.bastion.iv\">Artistic colony<\/a>, guests explored the artistic side of Josefov. Workshops offered hands-on experiences, including Milan Barto\u0161\u2019s traditional indigo dyeing (known as &#8216;modrotisk&#8217; in Czech) and Petr Nov\u00e1k\u2019s sculptural gallery and studio. For those seeking a deeper connection to history, Ji\u0159\u00ed \u010cern\u00fd, longtime caretaker of the fortress cemetery, led a guided tour of this solemn site outside the fortress.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns eplus-wrapper is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex eplus-styles-uid-7616bd\">\n<div
