The annual Prague Kolache Festival celebrates this Oklahoma town's Czech heritage with polka music, dancing, food, a parade and much more.

The festival is best known for its star attraction: kolaches. These soft, pillowy pastries come filled with fruit, poppy seed, cream cheese, and even savory options, offering something for every taste. Local bakeries and home cooks take pride in serving some of the most authentic kolaches found anywhere in Oklahoma. A contest to determine the best kolaches is held in conjunction with the festival.

Beyond the food, the festival offers a full day of entertainment and activities. Enjoy traditional Czech music and dancing, a festive parade through downtown, carnival rides, arts and crafts vendors, and family-friendly games. Adult guests can also enjoy a beer garden with domestic and craft Czech beer. Stick around for the evening festivities which include a royalty pageant, street dance and fireworks.

Whether you’re a foodie, a culture enthusiast or just looking for a fun day trip, the Prague Kolache Festival delivers a welcoming atmosphere and plenty of unforgettable experiences.
