The story

Fluxus Festival Kaunas in Kaunas

Fluxus Festival has run in Kaunas since 2018, honoring city-born Fluxus movement founder Jurgis Maciunas with a communal costumed ascent of Parodos Hill starting from Jurgis Maciunas Square. Participation grew past seven thousand five hundred during Kaunas's European Capital of Culture year, turning the climb itself into the event's artwork.

Fluxus Festival in Kaunas has run since 2018 as a tribute to Jurgis Maciunas, known internationally as George Maciunas, the Kaunas-born founder of the Fluxus art movement that emerged in New York in the 1960s alongside collaborators such as Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik and Joseph Beuys and that deliberately blurred the line between everyday life and formal art.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Rather than staging conventional performances or exhibitions, the festival's core action is a mass costumed climb up a city street closed to traffic, treating collective movement and public creative participation as the artwork itself, directly channeling Jurgis Maciunas's founding Fluxus idea that everyone can be an artist

02

The mystery stays covered

Because the event has no ticket price and no formal audience seating, its scale is measured entirely by voluntary participation, making the size of any given year's crowd a direct reflection of how many people choose to join the climb rather than simply attend as spectators
