Are you going to Kaziukas Fair?

Vilnius -Lithuania


Aiste took me to Vilnius, the capital city of Lithuania,
to attent this wonderful fair.

On the first Sunday of spring, the atmosphere of joy and celebration reigns Vilnius.
The reason for this is the famous Kaziukas fair,
the annual folk crafts and arts festival,
attracting visitors from all over the world to the capital of Lithuania.


Lithuanian craftsmen gather for the Kaziukas fair from the whole country
to sell their craftworks prepared during the long and cold winter.
A rich diversity of articles by weavers, wood carvers, potters,
smiths and other craft artists are presented at the fair.
Simplistic and unpretentious at first sight,
these artifacts are real masterpieces,
displaying a subtle beauty and having a deep symbolic meaning.
Hand-made articles made by applying ancient technologies, half-forgotten,
but nevertheless alive, Lithuanian traditional crafts reveal the distinctive character,
uniqueness and originality of the Lithuanian nation.

Here I am in one of the main streets in Vilnius called Gediminas,
where Kaziukas Fair was held.
