The series of events will open on June 13 and 14 with the Lithuanian fair "Braļukas" and a concert of invited Lithuanian artists. A traditional program of events will be offered – from dances to a cold soup competition.
More than 40 Lithuanian traders will participate in the fair, offering food products and handicrafts characteristic of the country and culture: smoked meats, cheeses, naturally leavened bread, šakotis, dried fruits and vegetables, teas, kombucha, ginger drinks, natural sparkling juices, spices, sauces, and other products typical of Lithuania.
In turn, Lithuanian artisans will bring ceramics, jewelry, woven baskets, wooden products, woolen items, natural cosmetics, and other useful things.
On June 13, from 16:00 to 18:00, a concert of Lithuanian musicians will take place in the courtyard of the Agenskalns Market. The program includes performances by contemporary folk musicians from Lithuania: Petunija and Roks Kašeta.
Petunija is a well-known Lithuanian singer and songwriter who has collaborated with the Latvian group "Tautumeitas." The artist will perform an acoustic program at the Agenskalns Market. Roks Kašeta, in turn, is a Lithuanian folk musician whose work is rooted in the cultural heritage of Dzūkija, with a special focus on the local dialect.
The cultural program will be complemented by performances from the dance group "Bijūnas" of the Latvian-Lithuanian community, the youth folk dance group "Saule," and the singing quartet "Labirintai."
