The summer solstice is celebrated annually at the end of May or the beginning of June. The festivities, a conception of a few members of the municipal office, started in 1996 with the aim of increasing civic pride, and its legacy sees several days of cultural events and a sports programme for people of all ages. The streets of Chrastava are transformed into the market place of an old Bohemian fair and the high spot of the evening is the fireworks.
Today, the importance of this event has traversed international borders with visitors attending from Poland and Germany, in particular Chrastava’s partnership towns, Eichstätt and Lwówek Śląski.
