One of the most famous annual Vilnius festivals is taking place each year every first weekend of September.
This year festival took place on 4 - 6 September.
I guess it's a perfect time to celebrate because Vilnius is again fool of people, students have come back to their universities, the city is full of life.
Gedimino street is a place of traditional Capital Days Festival Fair where various craftmen and artist sell their handmade product. Also other etertainments for Vilnius citizents and guest are offered.
All events and concerts are FOR FREE :)
Official Festival webside is http://www.vilniusfestivals.lt/EN/vilnius-city-fiesta/
The most remarkable are three grand concerts at the Cathedral Square. On Friday evening we can participate in an opening concert, on Saturday usually guest from other countries are giving their peformace and on Sundays we always have a huge closing concert of most popular Lithuanian artists at that time.
Since Friday was a really rainy day and it was raining all evening I spent my time time at home.
On Saturday I was out of the city, and came back just in the evening.
On Sunday I went to grand closing concert of LEON SOMOV & JAZZU at Cathedral Square. Although I am not a big fan of this band, the can tell concert was really really great. Hundreds of people have gathered on the square many on wchich were big fans of the band. They were singing along with JAZZU and was a great feeling to participate in this concert even not for fans. Most concert version of the songs sounded much better that the official ones ones on youtube.
I didn't have camera nor a good smartphone, so I am sharing with you an official version of one of most popular songs of LEON SOMOV & JAZZU "Lower than a ground'.
See you on Capital Days Festival next. year. :)
