This year, due to the global pandemic, the organizers had to take into account not only fun, but another important thing: keeping events safe, not too many people. “The format of the festival itself is quite favorable to the current situation, since the places where the events are organized are far from each other.

It will be demonstrated by the acrobats and dancers Inga Briazkalovaitė, Mickeala Karlsson and Dimitre Simonov. Furthermore, according to G. Šiaulytė, it is important to mention that this year the festival dedicated a separate part of the program to the commemoration of Vilnius Gaon.
