Let's Celebrate the River!

On 25th May 2024, the event "Let's Celebrate the River!" will take place for the 5th time. We will paddle kayaks, canoes, boats, and rafts on the Nemunas River in Kaunas, with artistic, creative, sporting, and community activities on the riverside - cultural islands.

"Let's Celebrate the River!" is open to everyone who loves rivers and unexpected surprises. Cultural and creative experiences on the banks are free. Take a canoe to paddle down the river, come by bike, or visit the cultural stops on foot.
