Tradicinių Užgavėnių kaukių dirbtuvės 1 DALIS / Traditional Mardi Gras Mask Workshop PART 1
Embark on a journey to Plateliai, the heart of Mardi Gras festivities in the Samogitia region and beyond. Here, amidst the beautiful tranquility of the countryside, locals and visitors, kids and adults alike come together every year to revel in the celebration of Pancake Day.
Organized by the loyal local community every year, Mardi Gras transforms Plateliai into a kaleidoscope of colors and sounds. Participants, donning traditional masks and costumes all line up and march throughout the town.
All of this peaks on Tuesday noon, when everyone, gathered in front of the Plateliai community hall, engages in dances, music performances, pancake tasting and – last but not least – the Morė effigy burning ceremony to shoo the Winter away for good!
