LRT yesterday published an article: Abortive utopias in Vilnius-from-soviet Palaces to Metro and Marina

I've never never been to Lithuanian Theater Music and Cinema Museum which also operates in one of Radziwills Palaces located in Vilnius. 

And on the whole it should be visited one day. 

It's really odd that their webpage exists only in Lithuanian.

Day 77. edition 2. Vilnius Culture Night vol. 2020. Vilnius Festivals

 #VilniusFestivals

as I said on day 77 , Vilnius Culture Night usually takes place in the middle of June.

However, due to well known reasons,  vol. 2020 took place on September 25.

My top 1 thing to see was lights performance on Sports and Concerts Palace. 

Day 124. Kayaking in Vilnius. Vokė

 well... 

#activeinVilnius

you can choose to spend your weekend day on kayaking in Vilnius. 

One of people that are organizing kayaking in Vilnius is vilniausbaidares.lt 

And one of the rivers in Vilnius you can choose is Vokė.

As I've said in my Lithuanian blog Vokė - is a tricky river.

It is shallow, and full of stones. Our route started in Baltoji Vokė and ended in Grigiškės.  it took us more than 5 hours to do 18 km.  

We had to overcome one serious obstacle: the Mūrinė Vokė damn.

We had to carry our kayaks trought the street to Lentvaris.

We had a lunch between the bridge to Trakai and the Railway Bridge.

Day 123. Festival- fair TAUTŲ MUGĖ. September in Vilnius

It usually lasts for 3 days. Traditional components of this festival are: the fair and performances of various nations living in Lithuania. 

This year it was the 12th TAUTŲ MUGĖ. 

To sum up,  September in Vilnius is super rich in events.
