The story

Kaunas Christmas Town in Kaunas

Kaunas Christmas Town fills Town Hall Square each December around a roughly twelve-meter Christmas tree redesigned with a new theme every year, often inspired by the city's Art Deco architecture. The square hosts a Christmas market, children's workshops, Santa meetings, youth discos and a Christmas Eve carol program.

Kaunas Christmas Town takes over the city's Town Hall Square each December, centered on a towering Christmas tree that stands roughly twelve meters tall and receives a new artistic theme every year, often drawing on the city's celebrated interwar Art Deco architecture for its decoration style.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The centerpiece Christmas tree is redesigned around a distinct artistic concept every year, sometimes using a real fir rather than an artificial structure, turning its unveiling and lighting into a closely watched local media event rather than a routine market fixture

02

The mystery stays covered

Because the tree's theme changes every year rather than repeating a fixed design, residents and repeat visitors treat its unveiling as a genuine annual surprise, generating anticipation and local media coverage weeks before the season officially opens
