Aug. 1 - Opočno Festival

Opočenská Porcinkule (three-day country fair in Opočno started by the Franciscan monks there in the late 1600s)





Medieval sword fighting

Puppets

Bobbin lace being made

Perniky (Czech gingerbread cookies) being decorated





Trdelník, a pastry made from rolled dough, wrapped around a stick, and then grilled (although most modern versions use a steel cylinder in place of the stick). After cooking, it is topped with sugar, cinnamon, and sometimes walnuts.



Česká zmrzlina z Opočna (Czech ice cream from Opočno)
