You don’t have to go to the sea to enjoy a great summer. Our capital city also offers many events that can make summer days more enjoyable. Here are some tips on where to go in Bratislava in July:
1. Coronation Festival 2023
2. French Day 2023
3. One Day Jazz Festival
4. Miro Jaroš programme for children
5. Beer Festival Záhorská Bystrica
6. Fragile concert
7. Summer Shakespeare Festival 2023
8. IMT Smile Summer Tour 2023
9. RICHARD MÜLLER at the Castle
10. Rainbow PRIDE Bratislava 2023
The past will come alive again in the former royal city, this time under the auspices of the Bratislava Tourist Board. You will have the opportunity to see what it was like during the coronation on the last three days of July, when a coronation parade will pass through the city, with participants in period costumes and with appropriate props to set the right mood. The main programme will take place on Saturday from 14:00, when from Bratislava Castle you will be able to accompany a 200-strong coronation procession in historical costumes through the streets of Bratislava. This year we will commemorate the coronation of Leopold II.
After a year, the French Day returns to the streets of Bratislava. The date is not accidental, because on 14 July the French celebrate a national holiday on the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille. And we can celebrate it together with them on the Main Square, for example with great French cheeses, desserts or drinks. In addition to the French colours and flavours, lovers of the French language, sports and cosmetics will also be in for a treat.
One Day Jazz Festival is one of the leading international festivals that have both personality and tradition. During the festival in Bratislava in the Klariska Church you can look forward to a concert of pianist Alan Bartus, who is one of the most outstanding personalities not only of the local scene. Two days later, i.e. on 5 July, the Immanuel Wilkins Quartet Masterclass from the USA will perform during the festival. Moreover, the members of the Wilkins Quartet will not only perform at the evening concert, but in the afternoon they will lead masterclasses at the Bratislava Conservatory.
You can enjoy your summer holidays with your children, for example, at the concert of probably the most popular children’s singer at the moment, Miro Jaroš. His summer tour will come to our capital city in July. During the one-hour concert, all the most popular songs will be performed and surprises await you.
Craft beers, small breweries, beer specials, premium street food. Plus a music programme and lots of fun. All this awaits you at the beer festival, this time in Záhorská Bystrica, on the last Friday in July.
Do you think singing without instruments will never be as good as singing with instruments? The well-known group Fragile will quickly lead you astray. This group playfully and always unexpectedly compensates instruments with their voices. Their modern and fresh repertoire combined with a golden throat is a recipe for an enjoyable evening. Enjoy the concert on July 3 at Monsters Cafe and Bar.
The Summer Shakespeare Festival has been a part of the summer in Bratislava for years. This year it will take place from 4 July to 6 August. You can look forward to performances of Hamlet, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Comedy of Errors, Macbeth, The Tempest and, of course, Romeo and Juliet. The Summer Shakespeare Festival is an exceptional open-air theatre project where the audience can enjoy culture in the beautiful surroundings of Bratislava Castle.
IMT Smile from Prešov has been on the Slovak scene for 31 years. Its Summer Tour 2023 will not bypass Bratislava, even on two concerts, on 30th June and 1st July. You can see them at the Bratislava Castle. Come and sing and possibly dance to well-known classics like Exotika, People are not bad or even newer ones like V lete and many more.
Richard Müller is one of our most successful and popular artists. He has been on the music scene since the 80’s when he became famous with the band Banquet. You can come and enjoy his latest exclusive concert in the open air in the courtyard of the 800 year old castle in Pezinok, the castle’s summer atmosphere will be priceless.
We invite you to the 13th Rainbow PRIDE Bratislava! This year we will see you in a new place – Námestie Slobody in Bratislava on Saturday 22 July 2023. Concerts of Slovak bands will alternate with speeches of personalities supporting equality of the LGBTI community. The colourful parade through the city will be bigger than ever. The festival will be combined with a month of side events, such as discussions, workshops, film screenings, exhibitions, theatre, music and dance performances.
