Concerts, performances, and entertainment for children
A motorcycle or ATV usually has space for one or two people, but a much larger community gathers around this equipment. To bring it together around the largest motorcycle and ATV showroom in Lithuania, a whole amusement park was set up for one day, where concerts by the bands “Wolfsome,” “Royce,” and “Huge Soul” took place. Performances were held by motorcycle stunt rider Paulius Labanauskas and trial discipline professional, Estonian Keity Meier. The event’s little participants were entertained by the animation team “Happy Suitcase.”

Those interested could listen to the stories of travelers Karolis Mieliauskas and Kęstutis Kirna, as well as the tales of “CFMOTO Thunder Racing Team” racer Antanas Kanopkinas.
Probably the largest crowd of spectators was drawn by the “Mud Drag” ATV competition – here participants had to overcome two mud pits specially dug for this event and competed to see who could cross both mud pits in the shortest time. There were more competitions – participants could win prizes in ATV rope-pulling races.
“I try not to miss motorcycle events happening in Lithuania – it’s a good place to meet friends, learn news, and just have a good time. Honestly, although I saw the event program, I was surprised by the size and scale of the event – just walking around the entire area took me a good hour. Everywhere you turned, something interesting was happening. It’s great to see how one of the largest motorcycle and ATV sellers in Lithuania ensures that motorcycling is a celebration for the whole family,” said Justas Lengvinas, organizer of the Lithuanian Motorcycle of the Year competition, adding that this event exceeded all expectations.
New motorcycle gift and full range tests
The event and all the entertainment held there were free for visitors. Also, everyone who shopped for at least 10 euros in the pop-up store set up specifically for the event day participated in a game where they could win a new “CFMOTO 300NK” motorcycle.
The event organizers say the store attracted a lot of participants, and the lucky winner was Violeta from Vilnius. When she came to collect the winning motorcycle, the woman revealed that her family already owns a “CFMOTO” ATV, and her children persuaded her to come to “CFMOTO Day.” No one in the family currently has the category required to drive a motorcycle, but Violeta considers that the win might motivate her to retake the exam at “Regitra.”
Throughout the day, participants could also try various models from the CFMOTO manufacturer – from ATVs designed for children to those capable of conquering the Dakar Rally. The very wide range of motorcycles and motor bags also attracted a lot of attention.

Although the event’s name mentioned one brand, everyone was welcome – the day started with an organized motorcycle column where various models could be seen. The column also included motorcycles with historical vehicle status.
A global tradition existing since 2017
“Motorider” marketing manager Arnas Bulaka says that the company team had been planning to organize such a festival for some time, and after seeing the result, it became clear that it is worth doing every year: “The first ‘CFMOTO Day’ in the world took place back in 2017 in China, and since then the tradition has spread worldwide – such events have already been held several times in France, Belgium, Romania, Poland, Colombia, and Mexico, as well as three times in Estonia.
So we contribute to this international tradition of bringing families together and celebrating unity together. We are very happy that more than three thousand people gathered at the festival – a large community is a great value for us.”
Motorcycle reviewer J. Lengvinas added that he was pleasantly surprised: “I liked that although the event was free for everyone, quality was maintained and there was no sense of commercialism. One very important moment – even the Lithuanian army had several tents here. I am glad that big businesses act socially responsibly and invite one of the most important institutions of our country to their celebrations. Communication with the community, especially nowadays, is a very important part of the army’s activities.
It’s nice that there was no shortage of food choices, nor spaces where it was noisy, nor places where you could sit quietly and enjoy good weather and a great show. And no matter what, the mud baths for ATVs left the biggest impression – I hope this will become a tradition.”
