LITHUANIAN INDEPENDENCE RESTORATION DAY
CELEBRATION OF FOLK MUSIC AND DANCE
On 11 March, it will be 35 years since the Seimas declared the restoration of independent Lithuania. Driven by the winds of freedom, these three decades have seen us, through our joint efforts, become a vibrant and modern Lithuania, today standing boldly alongside the most advanced European countries in the fields of science, business and culture. Let us sing, dance and celebrate freely and boldly, together with a Lithuania that is facing the future!
Every year, the Fishermen’s Palace Folk Dance Group “VĖLUNGA” invites friends not only from Lithuania, but also from abroad and even from overseas to celebrate the Lithuanian Independence Day.
