Midsummer Day (Joninės) in Kernavė

Would you like to celebrate Rasos (Joninės) as local together with a like-minded group? Not just watch, listen, or take photos – but truly take part in the celebration! To dance, sing, indulge, laugh, experience, share, and connect so deeply that you wouldn’t even think about the fatigue in your feet, the raindrops on your face, or the photos you forgot to take because you were celebrating the summer solstice with all your heart…

Let’s celebrate Midsummer Day festival (Joninės in Lithuanian) in Kernavė – the capital of all traditional Midsummer Day festivals.

ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE

Accompanied by our local guides from Baltic Gently group, you will get an opportunity to participate in all Midsummer Day activities as well as the main feast, set out on the hills towering over Neris River.

You will get a chance to celebrate the Summer Solstice festival just like our ancestors did centuries ago. You will join others and take part in crafting flower garlands (a head decoration that is a must-have on this night of the year!) with freshly plucked flowers from the nearby hills, share food and beverages as well as sing and dance around the bonfire until the dawn.

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!
