Getting postcards is so great, the ones from different parts of the world are so much fun. I learn things too. Like this card above. It took me a while to figure out what the card was depicting since I don't speak (or read) Czech but I finally found a website that when translated for me by Google was filled with lots of information on the event. It is a march through the woods that have been decorated and filled with actors portraying fairytale characters. It seems to mostly be an event for families and children, it looks like fun to me. You can find more info and lots of pictures of the festivities at this website.
I also found this video on You Tube, you don't have to understand what they are saying to know the kids are having a good time and that it would be a fun event to attend with kids for sure if you were ever in the Czech Republic around May or June. It seems like different villages have their own marches through the woods on different dates mostly during those two months.
And Now...
Tip Today - If you need to pack using just a carry-on, then pick one that is big enough to hold about five outfits and three or four books. A great bag is a school backpack! - From 1000tips4trips.com
