What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's island setting on Zarasas Lake gives it a self-contained atmosphere distinct from mainland festival grounds, requiring attendees to physically cross onto the island for the event

02

The mystery stays covered

Its integrated charitable initiatives, including a dog-and-owner race supporting homeless animals, add a community dimension uncommon among similarly sized music festivals

03

The city starts moving

Its lineup has consistently mixed well-known Lithuanian performers with international touring acts, and the festival's location within the wider Zarasai lake district ties it to a region already known for outdoor recreation
