Medieval festivities are held quite often in Cesky Krumlov.
The centry of town will then be locked on the 3 bridges and you will have to pay an entry-fee of 150 Krones (= 5,- Euros).
BUT You will have free entry, when you come in a traditional costume !

Kájovská 54
Two story corner house with painted Renaissance frontage belongs among the most interesting monuments of the historic centre of Èeský Krumlov. It is basically a late Gothic building which underwent a general reconstruction in Renaissance style in the third quarter of the 16th century. There are noteworthy richly painted facades with decorated and figurative motives. Both frontages are expressive in the town interior.

Kájovská 54, Cesky Krumlov
Oh, the food I consumed
by Krumlovgirl about Kavarna
This is the first place that we ate at in Krumlov, and it set the standard for everywhere else. I had chicken covered with cheese sauce, a salad, homemade bread, a glass of wine, a Pepsi, and chocolate crepes for about $6. I was very hungry. What do I suggest you try? Do like we did-try one of everything. We ate there twice on our trip and wasn't disappointed either time.
The masqarade ballroom
by sourbugger
The masqarade ballroom, is a very impressive room. If you have seen a lot of castles then this will be the room that sticks in the memory long after you have left and seen a load more castles.
The bright paintings of historical figures are well executed with just a bit more than a sense of humour.
I especially liked the painting of false doors to give the place the correct 'symmetrical feel'.
There are a couple of different tours of the castle - but make sure your tour includes this room.
