ROSA City Festival, SedlčanyMěstské slavnosti ROSA

An annual multi-day town celebration held since 1994 (reviving a 17th-century tradition) on the June weekend, commemorating a legendary victory over the Hussites near Sedlčany 1. The 2025 event (13–15 June) featured concerts by local bands, children’s performances, sports demonstrations, and a fireworks show by the riverside 2. It honors Sedlčany’s heritage (Battle of the Roses) with a festival of music, historical reenactments, and family activities.

Městské slavnosti ROSA blends religious legend with local pride. It is tied to the city's identity — the story of successful defense 'at daybreak' gave the festival its name (‘rosa’=dew) 1 2. Today it connects generations through folk traditions, music, and communal celebrations on central squares and fields. It's organized by the city; residents view it as Sedlčany’s main annual festivities.
