One of the largest markets in the western region will open this weekend. On Sunday, merchants and buyers will already be able to visit the Rietavas market.
The Rietavas market was closed throughout the quarantine period. Initially, its activities were paralyzed due to market restrictions, and then the market was finally stopped due to restrictions on movement between municipalities.
The Rietavas Market Administration announces that it will begin operating this Sunday.
It will be possible to trade in all the commercial squares, except in the roof houses.
And here the Švėkšna market saved the entire quarantine from paralysis. Even under the strictest restrictions, food can be marketed outdoors.
The sale of trees and seedlings, farmers’ products, clothing and other items in Švėkšna has been done recently.
This Thursday, the central square of the city simply shone with the voices of merchants and merchants.
The market also saved people in a spiritual sense.
“Our market was not closed, only food was traded. The bazaar saved people from total isolation. After all, we all lived with our doors closed, our doors closed, without communication. A market is a place where you can meet your person, at least in the distance you can see another face. The market also saved people in a spiritual sense. It is very important for the people of the city, ”said Alfonsas Šeputis, the oldest of Švėkšna.

When travel between municipalities was banned, it turned out that people living on the border of the Klaipėda and Šilutė municipalities were injured.
“There were some who were a few kilometers from the market and could not come. The people themselves felt the restrictions of movement. After all, many traders came from Klaipėda or the Klaipėda district, ”warned the older one.
Visitor flows also lead to a more colorful life in the city.
“People who come to the market also go to one store or another, which is good for local traders. The market is a great connection. People who are in the market ask a question: are you vaccinated yet? Outside from a distance, I think, it will not endanger anyone. If it has not brought the infection, it will definitely bring a good mood, “said the old man from Švėkšna.
The Švėkšna market has a long history: since ancient times, Švėkšna has been famous for its market on Thursdays.
“On Saturdays or Sundays, you can only find used clothing or items here. And the real market is only here on Thursdays. Such traditions. The large market covers the entire city square and even the side streets, ”recalled A. Šeputis.
