Events and Local Traditions

The Sousedská slavnost was held for the fifth time on 9 September 2023; that year, it was moved from the log cabin to the centre of the village. Its programme included a traditional demonstration of firefighting equipment by the volunteer fire brigade of the municipality of Polepy, featuring three emergency vehicles, as well as an educational first-aid presentation with the opportunity to practise on a training mannequin.
