  • Vilnius Days opened with a three-day programme of events focused on art, music, design, fashion and gastronomy.
  • A 15-minute drone show near the White Bridge replaced the festival’s previous laser displays and projected symbols and recognisable views of Vilnius above the Neris River.
  • The show ran twice on Friday evening and was scheduled to return on Saturday.

Vilnius marked the start of its three-day festival with a new spectacle in the sky: drones above the Neris River recreated the city’s symbols and familiar views.

The display near the White Bridge replaced the laser shows previously held during Vilnius Days. The approximately 15-minute performance told the history of Vilnius through illuminated images, with spectators watching from the riverbank and surrounding areas.

The show took place twice on Friday, at 10:30 p.m. and midnight, with the same performance planned for Saturday. The festival runs from September 4 to 6, with events spread across Cathedral Square, Gediminas Avenue, Vinco Kudirkos Square, Lukiškės Square, the area around the White Bridge and the Neris riverfront.

The festival opened along Gediminas Avenue and near Vinco Kudirka Square with a performance by the Lithuanian police representative wind orchestra. The programme includes activities for visitors of different ages, alongside events linked to art, creativity, food, design, fashion and music.
