This is the summer solstice festival in Lithuania. I participated in a small local festival, not the main one in Kernave. I was probably the only foreigner there. I participated on the night of 2025/06/23 at a square called P.A.R.A.K.A.S. https://maps.app.goo.gl/4vN9AdLWjKfvB7cC6 The opening ceremony started with a gunshot, followed by a dance by the women's association, a DJ, a campfire, and of course, flower crowns that can't be forgotten. It was the longest day of the festival, and the sun set at 22:05 on this day. It was quite a surprise. People were having parties and dancing in the distance, and both adults and children were having fun, and I was soothed by the homey atmosphere from start to finish.

This was a picture I took on my flight back from Lithuania to England. Despite being a frequent flyer, every travel opportunity is a new to me.

One of the stand out attractions of Kaunas is the city's castle, dating back to the medieval times. Only about one third of the castle remains to this day but it is worth seeing such an iconic relic of history. It has an illustrious history that dates back to the 14th century and was attacked and captured by the Teutonic order. Much of the castle was restored in 2010 and is now open to the public. In 2018, a 7 metre high bronze statue of a horseman was added to the grounds, portraying the "freedom warrior."

The Vytautas military museum has a great display of Lithuanian history over the past few centuries. It also features a small exhibition on the latest Russian occupation of Ukraine. The exhibitions are split over three floors and it even features a crypt in the basement. Visitors can see many of the weapons accumulated from medieval swords to modern era guns. Entry is five euros for adults though there are concessions for students.
