Internationales Festival der Feuerskulpturen 21 September (jedes Jahr)
*lasts 2 days - in Vilnius **The celebration of the autumnal equinox has always been a time of strange pagan tradition and festivity in LT, dating back to ancient times when Grand Duke Gediminas initiated it as a holiday to celebrate the ancestors and gods of the new harvest. As a wave of carnivals, dance, song, feasts, plays and pyrotechnics sets off across all of Lithuania, the highlight must certainly be Vilnius' Fire Sculpture Festival ***please check dates: http://www.etno.lt/
