Midsummer Day (Joninės) in Kernavė
ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE: Celebrate Midsummer Day festival (Joninės in Lithuanian) in Kernavė – the capital of all traditional Midsummer Day festivals.

Most importantly, our guides will help you to discover and understand the enchanting meanings of all the rites as well as experience the magic of celebrating the shortest night of the year with a group of like-minded people!
