The free city celebration Vilnius Is My City invites everyone to come together and celebrate the diversity of Vilnius. This year, the event will take place on 5 September in Bernardine Garden. You can find full event information and the programme here:

Bernardine Garden is located at B. Radvilaitės g. 8A, in the heart of Vilnius Old Town.

From Cathedral Square, walk along Šventaragio Street, turn onto Maironio Street and continue towards Barboros Radvilaitės Street. The entrance to the garden will be on your right.

If you are travelling by public transport, take a bus or trolleybus to the Katedra or Vilniaus universitetas stop. From there, it is just a short walk to the garden.

You can find the full programme here.

Large crowds, noise and hot weather can be stressful for pets, so we strongly recommend leaving your furry friends safely at home.

If you do bring your pet, please take care of its well-being and be considerate of other visitors. Keep your pet close to you and on a leash throughout the event and, where necessary, use a muzzle.

Lost and found items can be reported at the designated tent near the main stage.
