Street Music Day Lithuania in Vilnius

On the third Saturday of May, Vilnius opens its streets, courtyards and squares to anyone who wants to perform for Street Music Day, an open, unticketed event founded in 2007 that has since spread nationwide. Expect thousands of musicians spanning classical, rock, jazz, folklore and world music genres performing simultaneously across the city.

On the third Saturday of May, Vilnius hands its streets, courtyards and squares over to anyone willing to play, sing or make noise for Street Music Day, an event that began in the capital in 2007 and has since spread to cities across Lithuania.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The event has no jury, no stage schedule and no genre restriction: anyone who wants to perform simply claims a spot in a courtyard, square or street corner, making it one of the most genuinely open, decentralized music events in the Baltic region rather than a curated festival lineup

02

The mystery stays covered

Because participation requires no application or approval process, the lineup is never known in advance even to organizers, so each year's edition is effectively discovered in real time by the audience wandering the streets
