The Bratislava Majáles is an urban open-air multi-genre festival that is regularly being held since 2008. The festival’s a follow-up to similar urban open-air events in other major European cities, such as Donauinselfest in Vienna or The Thames Festival in London. At the same time, the program of the event emphasizes the importance of events which took place at the beginning of May, in particular the end of the Second World War in Europe and the accession of Slovakia to the European Union.
The program of the festival is built on various genres, diversity, tolerance and cosmopolitanism. The program consists of live performances by leading Slovak and Czech music groups and performers, children events, cycling event and also public discussions, workshops and presentations of various civic activities.
