Colours of Ostrava is an international, multi-genre music festival organised annually in Ostrava since 2002. In 2012, the festival was moved to the entrancing surroundings of Dolní Vítkovice – an area that used to belong to metallurgical works, mines and ironworks. The last, 16th year, offered over 350 program items on 21 open and covered stages – concerts, discussions, theatre performances, films, workshops as well as art activities.
