Klaipėda residents are invited to watch the firing online and rejoice in the green day that is coming the next day, when there will be fewer people.

And although there will be no shortage of beautiful and welcoming events in the city, I urge you not to go if you cannot, and if you cannot, reconsider everything, “said Vytautas Grubliauskas, mayor of the port city.
