The Procession of Three Kings
Monday, January 6, at 14:30 in the courtyard of Bratislava Castle.
Starting at 14:30, the courtyard of Bratislava Castle will come alive with music as we await the arrival of the Three Wise Men – sages from the East. Guided by a star’s light shining from the castle, the royal procession will include shepherds, drummers, pipers, standard-bearers, and star-bearers. Everyone is warmly invited to join this festive parade.
The procession will be enriched with theatrical performances, culminating at the live nativity scene on Františkánske Square. The event concludes with a concert by the talented singer-songwriter SKYVA on Františkánske Square.
