Here they are again! The extremely popular weekend full of experiences will not only offer a varied programme, various concerts, creative workshops for children, unique tours of different corners of Bratislava, but also open the city gates for visitors. There will also be an antiques bazaar, sightseeing cruises on the Danube, even a transport playground and historic vehicles.
The spring edition of the already legendary Beer Salon will take place in the Old Market Hall, as in previous years. There will be no shortage of well-known and lesser-known breweries, larger and smaller, Slovak and foreign. Special guests, excellent beers and a wonderful atmosphere in the Old Market Hall. And the tasting will be in glass cups.
If you prefer wine, the Open Cellars Limbach event is perfect for you. Wine lovers need no introduction to Limbach, this great wine region is one of the most famous and best in Slovakia. This year you can enjoy a free tasting of more than 200 types of wine from 17 wineries. The event will also include the evaluation of the 18th year of the competition Basket of Limbach Wines with the opportunity to taste and buy the award-winning wines from Limbach. Traditionally, in addition to wine, traditional gastronomic specialties will be prepared for visitors.
What would April in Bratislava be like without the traditional and extremely popular Bratislava sports event ČSOB Bratislava Marathon. A great weekend event that is for everyone, big and small, young and older generations. There is a children’s run, a classic 42-kilometre marathon, a half marathon, a ten-kilometre run, as well as a run for seniors and the so-called “good years”.
The Bridgeton series probably needs no special introduction. The music certainly contributed to its great success, featuring the biggest hits of the contemporary music scene, such as Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy” and Ariana Grande’s “Thank U, Next”, Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” performed by a string quartet. This special concert awaits you on April 22, 2025.
The popular bands Billy Barman and Korben Dallas will meet on Monday, April 14 in the Old Market Hall and you can expect an evening full of good music and fun. The bands will play their greatest hits, but there will also be musical collaborations, including new songs they are currently working on.
As the name suggests, a weekend full of circus performances awaits you in Bratislava, with activities for children, a gala evening, and various workshops where you can try out different circus disciplines. Of course, there will be performances by artists from Slovakia and abroad.
To make things even more exciting, another major running event is taking place in April. The 77th edition of the TIPOS Devín-Bratislava National Run is awaiting you on a classic 11.6 km long course from Devín Castle to the centre of Bratislava. The organizers have also thought of the smallest runners or those who will be satisfied with a shorter distance. For them, the popular “Little” Devín, which starts from the Lafranconi Bridge, is prepared.
For families, we have a great tip on where to go with the kids and celebrate spring. In the courtyard and garden of the Modra Manor there will be a unique event called Easter Inspirations. There will be live animals, creative workshops for families, knitting, an exhibition of Easter eggs, an educational trail of traditions, craft markets and a gastro zone. There will also be performances by children from the folklore ensemble, who will perform beautiful Easter songs and dances, an Easter quest, the Sting Theatre and Slížo – a juggling and magic show for children.
The antiques market is coming to Červený hrad after the winter. You can choose from a wide range of coins, medals, stamps, postcards, stickers, badges, books, paintings, prints, porcelain, clocks, music boxes, historical weapons, furniture and many other historical trinkets and larger pieces.
Although a bit unconventional topic, but all the more interesting. Psychedelics were made “famous” by hippies in the 70s and have been the subject of exploration ever since. Experts around the world are looking for answers as to whether they have therapeutic effects, whether they can be useful and whether they can really change minds. Answers to these questions too will be brought by Mgr. Jaroslav Farkaš, founder and director of the Psychonaut Academy project and lecturer in the university course “Experimental psychopharmacology, contemporary research on psychedelics and psychedelic psychotherapy” at the 3rd Medical Faculty of Charles University in Prague.
With the arrival of spring, the energy is awakening in us too and what better way to celebrate than at a proper party! Dance to the rhythms of balkan beats, gypsy, reggae and world music. Your favourite Balkan Bashavel is coming back to Bratislava. The combo MALALATA + Buchajtramka (live) + Le Petit Nicolas.
You can also look forward to the popular flea market in April. Update your wardrobe in an eco-friendly way and you might come across some great pieces. In addition to clothes, you will also find handmade products, records, books, paintings and antiques at the Exchange. There will also be refreshments, sweet and savoury snacks, delicious lemonades, syrups, jams, even great coffee.
Enjoy!
