October 28th is Czechoslovak Independence Day, marking the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1918. Czechs will commemorate the 108th anniversary of the birth of the Czechoslovak Republic with a host of events, including a ceremony at the Vítkov Memorial, remembrance events for the country’s first president Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk and an award giving ceremony at Prague Castle.
The celebrations of Czechoslovak Independence Day traditionally start with a commemorative ceremony at the Vítkov Memorial in Prague attended by the president, government officials, parliament representatives, church dignitaries and cultural figures who lay wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to pay homage to those who laid down their lives for the country.
