A colorful parade with floats carrying out the Czech theme takes place the first day. Performances by the costumed Beseda Dancers, trained in the traditional Czech dances, provide an authentic experience. Polka band music is performed throughout the festival, and there is a public dance each evening.
Visitors consume thousands of kolace , the traditional Czech pastry, along with other Czech foods.
A Czech Days Queen, Prince, and Princess are crowned preceding the Grand Coronation Ball that culminates the festivities. The first celebration of Czech Days under that name was in 1948, although the proposed name appears in official records as early as 1941, and a celebration has been held in Tabor for more than 85 years.
