Cholupice was, at one time, an independent municipality. The village of Točná was joined to Cholupice in 1960.[2] The municipality of Cholupice, including Točná, was amalgamated into the city of Prague in 1974. The local government in Cholupice was dissolved, and both villages were attached to the local government in Modřany,[3] which is now part of Prague 12.
Every year on April 30, near Ke Kálku street at the eastern end of the village, Cholupice hosts Prague's largest symbolic
Welcoming of Spring celebration (Czech: vítání jara), including the raising of a maypole, and a parade through the village wearing folk costumes (Czech
: kroj).
