Povaleč was created in 2006 by a joint initiative of a bunch of friends. Until today, the organization team consists of friends, most of whom know each other for years.
Our aim is to entertain people, to revive the lovely town of Valeč, to create an event with a unique atmosphere, where everyone can find something that he enjoys and doesn’t have to pay overpriced entrance fee just to see a couple of well-worn bands. Povaleč is not about mainstream popular culture or money, it is about bringing people together and creating something different.

Experience the excitement when he ascends to heaven, tall and slender maypole as a sign of the beginning of the festivities and the beautiful feeling of nostalgia when the Sunday early evening cut down to the ground, and three days and nights the throbbing heart of Slovakia slowly fades.
The festival dates back to 1992 and is the first festival of its kind in the Czech Republic. It responds to the constant interest of listeners in concerts of sacred music thematically connected with the liturgically significant period of Easter.
The Easter Festival of Sacred Music remains a unique international project on the Central European scale dedicated exclusively to sacred music with an emphasis on exploratory and interesting dramaturgy and excellent performances.
The key dramaturgical starting point is the very proximity of the most important Christian holidays. Among other things, the festival focuses on the line of discovering unjustly neglected works and actively acts as the initiator of new spiritual compositions.
The festival takes place every year in two weeks between Květná and Bílá Sunday and is situated in Brno's churches.
The Easter Festival of Sacred Music is a member of the Czech Association of Festivals (CAF).
