In one day, a small town becomes a place where thousands of people from all over Lithuania meet. This year, they will be waiting for one of the richest festival programs: Biplan, Martynas Kavaliauskas, Angelou, Irūna, and Marius will perform, the evening will be concluded by Sauben, and during the day there will be inspiring discussions, sports tournaments, educational activities, and a fair.
One of the greatest strengths of the festival is the focus on children. Entry is free for children under 10 years old, all children’s activities are also free, and this year the little ones will also enjoy up to 4000 free ice creams, donated by the festival partners.
However, the organizers say that the greatest value of the festival is not the stage or the famous names.
“We want people to stop for at least one day. For families to be together, for children to spend more time not in front of screens, but with their parents. We want to remind that the best memories are born in simple things – conversations, smiles, and togetherness,” says the festival organizer Arminas Vareika.

The festival is created not only by the organizers. Dozens of volunteers, coordinators, communities, and business partners contribute their time and ideas to make a big celebration happen in a small town.
The past five years have been a real challenge for the organizers – the festival was accompanied by rain, cold weather, and even record downpours. Nevertheless, no year stopped the desire to continue what has already become a beautiful tradition.
“For five years we believed in this festival even when the weather was not on our side. This year, for the first time, the forecasts allow us to hope that we will finally see the festival as we have always dreamed of creating,” smiles A. Vareika.
The organizers invite you to come not only for the concerts. For the atmosphere. For the people. For the community. For the laughter of children. For a summer day that will remind you that the best celebrations are born where people matter most.
