Domažlice is the capital of the region Chodsko. The people of the Chodsko are the descendants of an old Slavic race that had settled themselves in the region and were hired for guarding the border with Bavaria. The inheritance of the old Slavic race is still found in the, on festivities still worn folkloric costume, the dialect (but probably when you are not a native speaking Czech you won't notice the difference from regular Czech), the folk music and the folk dancing. To see the people of the Chodsko celebrating their inheritance you must be in luck to be there during a popular festival.
The annual highlight is a 2 days festival in August which draws thousands of visitors to the city. The folk history museum has an interesting folkloric collection.
