Festivals

Lithuania, like the other Baltic states that are close by, enjoys a lot of holiday celebrations. But the main factor here is undoubted that it belonged to the Soviet Bloc before 1991. Holidays in Lithuania are quite new, having just been instituted in the past 20 years or so, shortly after the country gained its independence from Russia. The July Sea Festival, which features cuisine, music, and several acts, is three days long of fun and excitement. Visit Lithuania in May for a singular experience to learn more about the significance of Street Music Day.

Among the most well-known film events in Europe is the Vilnius International Film Festival. It is the oldest festival in Lithuania and among the Lithuanian culture, customs, and etiquette. This magnificent event, which takes place every March, brings together ardent movie fans, critics, producers, and stars from all over the world. It started in 1995 but quickly gained popularity, drawing more than 50,000 visitors annually. Other cities in Lithuania host the festival as well.
