Thousands of people gathered for culmination of Brno Seventeenth festival

Thousands of people arrived for the culmination of today’s Brno Seventeenth festival, which took place mainly on Freedom Square in the afternoon. It rained in Brno all day, and only at dusk did the rain weaken and in some places stop completely. As a result, the square began to fill significantly only shortly before 5 p.m., when a human chain of joined hands formed in Kobližná Street and led all the way to the stage. At the symbolic time of 17:11, A Prayer for Marta was heard, followed by the Czech and Slovak national anthems
