Location: left bank of the Mže river from the Roosevelt Bridge to the footbridge and to Roudná

Riversides are used as a place for relaxation in many European cities, so why not in Pilsen? There is a river here, there is a place, let us restore it and transform it into a bursting relaxation zone. We have started this, a civil association called “k světu”. We perceive the riversides as a unique place suitable for both relax and dynamic free time activities. Our goal is to make the unused public space more attractive in summer and to stir up life in the centre of Pilsen. Cities and settlements were founded at the rivers since the beginnings, and it is natural to use all the spaces around them. The riverside represents a kind of "a return to the roots" to the world.

This year of the festival, which celebrates the phenomenon of rivers in the city centre, moves downstream not only to its location but also its name. The fifth anniversary year, Náplavka k světu. 0.2.will float towards the left bank of the Mže river between the Roosevelt Bridge and the red footbridge. The change of environment and the planned revitalization of the original site of the festival on the Anglické nábřeží is a proof of the efforts of this popular summer festival organizers to seize the concept of Pilsen rivers in the city centre and to study their usability. "In order to attract our fans to the new location as in the previous years, it is important to have a quality program, although it is not a matter of our priority in our effort to raise awareness of Pilsen riversides. This year we decided to focus more on sporting use of this part of the landscape and to provide service to parents who will visit the riverside with their children ... However, repeatedly there will be dancing events or concerts as well, "says the festival coordinator.

The Náplavka k světu. 0.2 festival starts on Friday May 26, when it will present the Brewstock festival - a handicraft mini-brewery festival with unambiguously high-quality participation not only of Czech but also of foreign stars in the field. At the riverside there will also be a performance in the framework of the Tanec Praha dance festival and the Mobiliář na náplavku workshop within the Landscape Festival Pilsen 2017.
