Tip: How to Make It to the Official Opening Ceremony
The official festival opening will take place at Masaryk Square in the town centre at exactly 9:18 AM. We’d love for you to join us right from the start, so here’s the ideal morning connection we recommend:
7:58 AM – Depart from Brno Main Railway Station on regional train 4710 (S2 line) towards Letovice.
8:43 AM – At Skalice nad Svitavou station, simply transfer to the connecting regional train 14744 (S21 line), which will take you directly to Boskovice, arriving at 8:54 AM.
From the station, it’s just a pleasant 12-minute walk to the festival venue. You’ll have more than enough time to make the opening ceremony at a relaxed pace.
Travelling by Train Later in the Day
Planning to arrive later? The train is still by far the easiest option. Connections from Brno to Boskovice run throughout the day at regular hourly intervals, and the journey usually takes around 40–60 minutes from Brno Main Railway Station.
The system is simple all day long:
Take either a regional train (S2 line towards Blansko and Letovice) or an express train (R19 line towards Česká Třebová and Prague). Trains depart from Brno Main Railway Station just a few minutes before every full hour, with regional services also stopping at Brno-Židenice station.
At Skalice nad Svitavou, transfer to the local S21 train, which will take you directly to Boskovice. Connections are smoothly coordinated, so there’s no need to worry about long waiting times.
