Since the 14th century the annual folk festival Barchan has commemorated John of Luxembourg and Queen Eliška. It consists of a ritual race from the town walls towards Budkov, finishing back in Jemnice. According to the source it regularly takes place on the last Sunday in September. The winner receives fustian cloth, the runner-up a scarf, third place stockings and fourth place a wreath of flowers.
