Across Czechia, celebrations range from open houses at government buildings, including the Straka Academy, the seat of the Czech government and ministries, to regional events in cities such as Brno, Ostrava, Pardubice, and Olomouc. The Straka Academy will also be illuminated in national colors, symbolizing Czech pride. The Sokol Run of the Republic will also unite communities in a commemorative athletic event honoring Czech heritage.
