On Saturday, September 27, Výstaviště Prague will host the 10th anniversary of Heroes’ Day, an annual event dedicated to civil protection, integrated rescue services, and public safety.
The program runs from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. across the lower grounds of Výstaviště and Křižík Pavilion B.
This year’s highlight is the premiere of the Humanitarian Aid Material Base, presented to the public in full for the first time.
