We are excited to present this year’s festival programme! In 2025, Šiauliai will once again become a meeting place for cultures from around the world, as ensembles and performers from 12 countries arrive — from Azerbaijan to Portugal, from North Macedonia to Ukraine. The festival offers a rich and colourful programme featuring outstanding contest performances, open-air concerts across the city, educational activities, dance workshops, and a traditional folk art and crafts fair. Throughout the festival week, Šiauliai will host 13 international ensembles, 44 Lithuanian folk groups, and 8 solo performers. A full week of music, dance, national costumes, and living traditions awaits both locals and guests.
We invite you to discover the full festival programme on our website and plan your visit to this vibrant celebration of folklore in Šiauliai!
