A Lights festival where the line between reality and dreams becomes nearly invisible. Featuring over 300 sculptures, light and laser installations created specifically for Lithuania, and a route spanning more than 2 km — come and experience this luminous fairy tale with us!

Here, light awakens the stories of the museum’s historic buildings and centuries-old trees; shadows transform into fairy tales, and familiar paths turn into a journey to another world. Visitors will encounter magical creatures, mysterious forest dwellers, and wonders seen only in dreams. This year’s festival also features a grain maze, sculptures inspired by Lithuanian legends and history, and a magical forest.

Festival dates: October 30, 2026 – January 31, 2027
