Summer Baroque FestivalLetní barokní festival

The Letní barokní festival is a seasonal cultural series spanning multiple towns and baroque sites across West Bohemia. From June through September, historic churches, monasteries, and castles host concerts of baroque music, theatrical baroque evenings, and traditional processions 1 2. It includes events like pilgrimages to St. Anne’s Church (Tanberg) and baroque banquets. Locals gather for intimate concerts and festive programs celebrating the region’s architectural and musical heritage from the 17th-18th centuries.

West Bohemia has a rich legacy of baroque architecture from the Habsburg era. This festival re-animates that heritage; for example, priests and musicians dressed in period costume highlight baroque art and faith traditions. It unites smaller communities (Manětín, Mariánská Týnice, Tachov, etc.) in a shared appreciation of their unique baroque landmarks 1.
