From May 29\u201331, the Lithuanian capital will be transformed by its most vibrant seasonal color as the \u201cVilnius Pink Soup Fest\u201d returns.

The celebration begins on Friday, May 29, and continues through Sunday afternoon. The main activities are centered at Town Hall Square (Rotu\u0161\u0117s aik\u0161t\u0117) in the historic Old Town and the area near the White Bridge (Baltasis tiltas), a popular leisure spot by the Neris River. Visitors are invited to sample various interpretations of \u0161altibar\u0161\u010diai\u2014Lithuania\u2019s famous cold beet soup\u2014while participating in themed entertainment.<\/p>\n

Following the music, the K2 comedy troupe will present a special \u201cCold Beet Soup Trial.\u201d Using an absurdist comedy format, the performers will attempt to settle the long-standing debate over which country\u2014Lithuania, Latvia, or Poland\u2014can truly claim ownership of this iconic dish. The evening will conclude with a performance by Despotin Fam, a hip-hop group appearing with a live band for a 45-minute set of intense rhythms and ironic lyrics.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, May 30, the action returns to Town Hall Square. Starting at 8:00 PM, the singer Angelou will perform, bringing a sense of summer freshness to the festival. She describes the event as a unique city celebration where food, urban culture, and music creatively intersect.<\/p>\n
The evening\u2019s highlight will be a concert by Donatas Montvydas and his band. This marks the pop star\u2019s debut at the Vilnius Pink Soup Fest. Montvydas is preparing a set of his most popular hits and a stage image specifically tailored to the festival\u2019s pink theme. According to the artist, this concert marks the official start of his summer season.<\/p>\n
On the final day, May 31, the musical program moves to the White Bridge area. Starting at 3:00 PM, Sandra Carrillo will perform.
