The Ochotnický spolek Blsko was founded to mark the 100th anniversary of the first theatrical performance in Bílsko. Every year, the Ochotnický spolek Blsko is intended to prepare a fairy-tale play and a farce, which are then performed in the village barn. The Sjezd rodáků a přátel obce in Bílsko has been held regularly every five years since 2006; only once was it postponed by one year because of COVID measures.
