(Prague, 7 July 2026) – The festival of food, sound and light returns this summer with its most ambitious edition yet. From 14 to 16 August 2026, Lindava Meadow will once again be transformed into an oasis of flavours, music and art by the team behind ZE MĚ projekt. Celebrating its fifth anniversary, ME ZE will offer immersive open-fire dining experiences, inspiring workshops and a relaxed atmosphere surrounded by nature at the peak of summer.
Gastronomy Takes Centre Stage
The heart of the festival remains the cuisine of the ZE MĚ collective. Built around cooking over an open fire, seasonal ingredients and close collaboration with local producers, the culinary programme once again forms the festival's centrepiece.
Throughout the weekend, the ZE MĚ team will be joined by a selection of guest chefs from the Czech gastronomic scene. Confirmed names include Petr Žídek (Alma Prague), Murad Guliyev (SUGO Pasta Bar) and Tereza Lončíková (Etapa), each bringing their own culinary philosophy, creativity and distinctive flavours to the event.
Unlimited food is included in the ticket price, allowing guests to fully enjoy the festival's gastronomic experience throughout the weekend.
Craftsmanship, Inspiration and Music
The festival programme has been curated around people who share ZE MĚ's passion for craftsmanship, creativity and authenticity.
Talks and hands-on workshops will introduce visitors to the worlds of fermentation with Erik Cehlár (Goodlok), birch sap with Jan Klimeš (Euforie), perfume making with Daniel Nikolov and Martin Švach (Kintsugi), and artisanal vinegar production with Vašek Smolík (Oceterie).
Designed as a space to slow down, discover new skills and reconnect with nature, the festival encourages guests to step away from everyday routines and immerse themselves in meaningful experiences.
The meadow will come alive with a carefully curated music programme evolving from laid-back daytime sets to electronic music and techno after dark. Among the first announced DJs are Kembe, TMH aka Tim Haze, Kirill Astra, and xinchào, with further artists and activities to be announced in the coming weeks.
A Natural Setting with a Distinctive Visual Identity
ME ZE incorporates scenographic installations crafted from natural materials that blend seamlessly into the unique landscape of Lindava Meadow at Lužice Mountains.
The visual identity of this year's festival, created by Studio Vaněk, captures the essence of summer — the aroma of food prepared over an open fire and long days spent in sun-drenched meadows.
A Festival for the Whole Family
ME ZE is designed to be enjoyed by visitors of all ages. Families can take advantage of a dedicated children's programme with supervised activities and entertainment throughout the day.
Children under the age of seven receive free admission, while those under twelve are entitled to a 50% discount. Guests should note, however, that ME ZE remains a festival with live music and a lively atmosphere throughout the weekend.
