Culture Night – let there be night!
Date: 20-21 June 18.00-06.00
Venue: cultural and public spaces of Vilnius City
This is the shortest summer night awakening people from cultural sleep. City squares turn into dance schools under the stars and parks – into large cinemas on the grass, the river glimmers with installations and shining labyrinths, churches begin to speak in nocturnal concerts of classical, rock and organ music, narrow streets buzz with performances, balconies sing love songs, hand-made lanterns shine, poetry is read and lullabies are sung. Museums lure with musical performances and animation. Every fifth Vilnius resident wanders in the night celebrating culture.
