Advík is a weekend festival around Japanese pop culture - anime, manga, cosplay and other Japanese stuff - but also things like computer games, virtual reality and more. Since 2006, Advík has been held in Prague in August. Advík is the largest Japanese pop culture festival in Prague and welcomes over 2500 visitors every year.

Advík is the second largest and second oldest anime festival in the Czech Republic after Animefest, held in Brno. The main organizers are Jan Horský, Martin Peták and Andrea Petáková, who are part of the Spolek nezávislých otaku z.s.

The event does not have permanent facilities due to constantly inadequate premises, but in 2023 the festival will move to the Modrá škola (Háje), which has hosted the festival many times in the past.
