Mardi Gras Festival at Rumiks' open-air Museum of Folk Customs. This carnival is well-known for its handcrafted papier-mache masks representing various ethnicities, social classes, and animals. Other peculiar traditions include the pagan-inspired burning off the winter effigy (Mor) and the victory of vegetarian Kanapinis (Weed-man) over Laininis (Fat-man) to mark the beginning of Lent. While all of this occurs in a variety of locations, it is most concentrated and interesting to see in Rumiks, a massive recreation of 19th-century Lithuanian villages. There, an entire day is dedicated to Ugavns, and the festival is conveniently "moved" to a weekend to attract the greatest number of visitors.


The Mardi Gras festival is the last famous festival in Lithuania. The originality and novelty of the masks at the festival, this has aroused curiosity for festival participants. That's why the Mardi Gras Festival is famous but also makes the festival special in the eyes of the participants.
