Culture

Hradec nad Moravicí is a cultural centre of this part of Silesia. The tourists can visit the Town Gallery and Museum, a theatre and concert hall, a cinema, a library charged to serve for the region and an information centre. Hradec is the seat of the local branch of Matice slezská, an organisation for maintaining the traditions of Silesia. Other traditions are kept alive too, such as firefighters´ activities, folk traditions, fairs and markets. Hradec organizes a number of social and cultural activities, such as Opening of the Spring and Tourist Seasons, Hradec Fair (which has been organised together with the Čas Radio Station in recent years), and others. The dominant of all these events is the international music competition of young musicians called Beethoven´s Hradec.
