Although this year’s birthday is invited to be greeted in a homely atmosphere, expect not only a special birthday party from Vilnius restaurants, but also other great entertainment for the eyes, ears, thoughts and heart. Even the lighting of the Vilnius TV tower will dance to the birthday beat on the occasion of the birthday.

On the night of January 25, four Vilnius bridges will be illuminated: Žvėrynas, Baltasis, Žaliasis and Mindaugas. On the initiative of the Vilnius Festival of Lights, the Gediminas Castle and the sword of the Gediminas monument will shine in the city on the occasion of Vilnius’s birthday. Radio station M-1, the Lithuanian Center for Radio and Television AB and the Vilnius Festival of Light will present the city with the funniest birthday candle: a light installation on a television tower. January 24 on Sunday and Monday January 25, from 6:30 p.m. it will be possible to see how the TV tower will “dance” every hour according to Lithuanian folk songs. All of this will be available to watch live on www.m-1.fm

For those who like to celebrate with music, a special Spotify playlist has been created for Vilnius birthday.

January 21-31 Special offers from Vilnius restaurants will help you celebrate deliciously at home; you can find them in the Wolt and Bolt Food apps. A delicious surprise will be prepared for the recipients of the “Dinner Subscription” next week.

The city’s alternative cognition platforms “Part-time Vilnius” also prepared surprises: a birthday game – a knowledge test, a special birthday present “Vilnius Mood Map” – what the capital would be like if its colors were chosen by the Vilnius residents. All this: Vilnius part-time on his Facebook account.

All students and kindergarten teachers will learn about Vilnius’s birthday on that day – educational classes and lessons about Vilnius will take place in many educational institutions.

The municipality of the capital has a beautiful tradition: for the fourth consecutive year, three flags of the city of Vilnius have been raised in the square near the City Hall.
