“This year’s San Juan weekend is long enough; it will last up to five days, which is why the celebration itself lasted so long. Without a doubt, St. John’s before and after the pandemic are different.
We have to meet certain requirements, so there will be no big concerts during Jonines this year, we have put everything in interactive activities “, the portal lrytas.lt said Vita Petrauskienė, director of the Center for Culture and Youth of Palanga.

On Wednesday night, the saint became the most royal town on St. John. More than 100 merchant shops with a variety of handmade and other products dotted Kopų and Šventosios streets.
Some tables were loaded with an assortment of wooden and straw utensils, others with handmade backpacks, leather and bead jewelry, artist paintings, household items, kitchen utensils, candles, clothing, T-shirts, and hats with fun notes. , children’s toys, etc. on.
Many tourists, locals and guests of Šventoji gathered to watch the fair. They curiously inspected tables laden with various items, inquired about prices, and boldly negotiated when deciding to purchase any kind of merchandise. The merchants themselves were inclined to negotiate.
Everyone agreed that a lot of people come to look around, but they only buy from each other. However, even those conditions satisfied artisans who were unable to present their products at fairs during the pandemic.
At approximately 11 pm, at sunset, the tourists gathered at the seashore were enchanted by the spectacular view. A huge sculpture at the mouth of the Santo River was set on fire.
