Czech and American Christmas hits are enriched with tap dance and swing dance elements that immediately draw children into the experience.

Feel free to bring quiet toys or a small snack for your little ones – the concert is designed to be friendly to the youngest audience and their needs.

Together, they embark on an outdoor adventure full of games, laughter, and live music. After a joyful day of fun, the happy campers fall asleep to the gentle sound of rain, only to wake up to plenty of muddy puddles for carefree play.

The Forgetful Little Letter Angel

But this year, he oversleeps, and everything gets wonderfully tangled! Now it’s up to everyone to see if they can wake him up – and that won’t be easy.

The story is full of a poetic Christmas atmosphere, evokes partly forgotten traditions, includes classic carols, and features beautiful puppets that bring the tale to life. It’s perfect for children aged 4 to 9 and promises plenty of laughter, magic, and fun.
