Lithuanian Song and Dance Celebrations are a national tradition of Lithuanian folk and amateur art. Once every few years, this cultural phenomenon culminates in a grand national Song Celebration that is held over a week and assembles tens of thousands of singers, dancers, visual artists and spectators from all parts of Lithuania and the rest of the world. During the Celebration, representatives from Lithuania’s different ethnographic regions and expatriate Lithuanian communities showcase the unique expressions of their singing and dancing customs. Lithuania hosted its first official Song Celebration in Kaunas in 1924, although the tradition itself is much older and goes back to the 19th century.

In 2024, the Lithuanian Song Celebration will turn 100 and will invite visitors from across the world for a whole week of festivities and unforgettable concerts.
