Heading to Prague in November? We'll be listing a number of cool things that we think PLUS Prague people will enjoy. Cannafest - the international "hemp" fair (yes, hemp) is on in late November.

For more info check out the official website. http://www.cannafest.cz/ If you're looking for some live music you couldn't find 2 more different genres than Rammstein and Rihanna. Both happen to be gracing the stage in the Czech capital (no, not together.... although).
