On the first weekend of June 2025, everything in Velké Popovice will once again revolve around the legendary Kozel beer. At the traditional ‘Kozel Day’, beer fans can expect freshly tapped delicacies, regional specialities and a varied programme for young and old.
On 7 June 2025, it’s time to head to Velké Popovice for the traditional ‘Kozel Day’! If you love freshly tapped Kozel beer and hearty regional specialities, don’t miss this festival. The best restaurateurs in the area have come up with something special for the day and will ensure there is no shortage of food and drink.

However, the festival offers much more than just beer enjoyment. Visitors can expect a colourful programme packed with numerous activities. Anyone who has always wanted to learn how to tap the perfect Kozel will have the opportunity here: the traditional tapping school makes the day an experience for beer lovers. There will also be team competitions and an exclusive tour of the Velkopopovický brewery, which is celebrating the 30th anniversary of ‘Den Kozla’ this year.

New merchandise will also be available for all Kozel fans. If you need a break from the hustle and bustle, you can make yourself comfortable in cosy relaxation areas and unwind to live music.
