History of the city

You can get the main information about the city from pages of festival and Wikipedia page. But the most important thing is that the city was founded in the spring of 1420 by Petr Hromádka of Jistebnice and Jan Bydlínský of Bydlín from the most radical wing of the Hussites to protect their ideas about religion. It is the reason for the name Tábor - it translates to “camp” or “encampment” in Czech. I strongly recommend to take at least a quick look at pages about Hussites. This event is over for this year but if you will be near Tábor in 2019, you should take a look at this festival.
