Cheb Courtyards 2026

Cheb Courtyards 2026 is the 21st edition of this street festival, returning to the historic quarter of Cheb (Eger) after a three-year break. From Thursday 11 to Sunday 14 June, 24 courtyards, passages, inner blocks and other spaces transform into temporary galleries and cultural stops.

The programme weaves together exhibition openings, visual art presentations, concerts, workshops, film screenings, guided tours, theatre and social gatherings. Suitable for families, adults and seniors; it can be experienced as a longer festival walk through the city or by selecting specific events.
