We cordially invite you to the eighth edition of the Bethlehem Cultural Night!
On Tuesday, September 10th, set out for Bethlehem Square and the adjacent streets and courtyards. Two dozen local institutions have prepared a rich program both in the open air and in spaces usually inaccessible, which will last from the afternoon hours until midnight. You can look forward to exhibitions, concerts, film screenings, theater performances, author readings, slam poetry, culinary experiences, workshops, unconventional tours, and children's programs.
This year we also have a novelty! Since this year marks the 650th anniversary of Master Jan Hus and the 30th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution, the 8th edition of the Bethlehem Cultural Night will be connected by the common theme "TRUTH." In addition to each participating institution trying to include the theme in its program, we offer a special route for truth.
