Participants of the march gathered near the Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania and marched along Gediminas Avenue until they finally reached Kalnai Park.

The concert was organized by the National LGBT Rights Organization LGL, in cooperation with the association “Music Awards of the Year” (M.A.M.A.). The organizers invited everyone – members of the LGBT community, allies, Vilnius residents, and city guests – to gather to celebrate diversity, equality, and the right to be oneself.
“This concert is not just a musical event, but also a celebration of solidarity and visibility. We want to create a space where every person feels welcome, safe, and accepted,” the organizers stated.
Lithuanian and foreign artists performed on the stage of Kalnai Park. Among them were Lithuania’s representative in this year’s “Eurovision” song contest Lion Ceccah, French artist Savanah, Sandra Carrillo, and drag culture performers LaDiva Live (Belgium) and Catherine d’Oex (Switzerland). The concert was hosted by the charming drag culture icons Aura More and Edma.
