Funny jugglers
The organizer of the Kaunas Fair, Darius Straigis, promised that everyone will find something to do here.
“Of course, every year we pay tribute to Lithuanian folk artists and traditions. But at the same time, we want the event to be modern, so we involve young people and organize various activities,” he said.
Due to the reconstruction of the pavement of Laisvės Alley, the fair was held in the Old Town for some time. While they waited for the works to be finished, its organizers planned to hold a big event with concerts in the alley. However, given the threat of the coronavirus, the idea had to be adjusted.
This year the big stages have been abandoned, but DJs and buskers are invited to perform. Up to five performance venues have been reserved for them: at the entrances to the Central Post Office, the National Drama Theater, the municipal building, the central fountain and Calle Vasario 16.
Art festival
To avoid meetings in one place, the performances of the musicians will be brief. The performers will also move from place to place.
The street art festival “Street Art” will also take place during the fair. It is true that, for security reasons, it will be a little more modest than originally planned. Artists Mindaugas Juodis and Aušra Kleizaitė, curators of the festival’s visual arts, will invite children and young people to the City Garden. Artistic drawing campaigns will be organized in the protective fence that surrounds the patio of the Musical Theater under reconstruction. Anyone can join them.
Visitors to the event will also be delighted with performances by fire jugglers and circus performers.
“Of course, we will control the flow of guests, we will try not to gather people for too long. However, we want to create an appropriate atmosphere with interesting performances. After all, the fair is not just a market where you can buy delicacies or products. made of wood. It’s a celebration for the whole city, “Straigis said.
Of course, we will control the flow of guests, we will try not to gather people for a long time. However, with interesting performances, you want to create the right atmosphere.
Amazing quality
The Kaunas Fair will maintain its most important traditions. As every year, the organizers try to invite the largest number of Lithuanian and foreign merchants who produce handicraft products or use modern technologies that correspond to ancient traditions. There will be no high-volume, low-value printed products here. The fourth annual event is usually attended by producers from Poland, the Czech Republic, Belarus, Latvia, Estonia, France and other countries.
This year there will be slightly fewer participants from abroad, but guests will be arriving from the Baltic countries. Interestingly, traders will not only offer their products, but will also organize educational activities. For example, wool felt, jewelry, blacksmithing and other workshops. On the territory of the fair, visitors will also find several cafes where they can taste traditional dishes.
Since friday morning
The fair, which will take place from A. Mickevičiaus street to the Vilnius street underpass, will invite you to visit it from Friday at 10 am. in the morning.
“We noticed that Kaunas residents and merchants crave the hustle and bustle of the fairs very much. After all, there have simply been no major events in Kaunas for a long time. Of course, you need to be safe, be careful. The procedure will be supervised by a large team of volunteers, “said D. Straigis.
On the weekend, traffic will be restricted in the city center. It will not be possible to cross Laisvės alley while driving on Maironio street. Therefore, drivers should be more careful.
