The most beautiful love story in the world? No, we’re not talking about Romeo and Juliet. We're talking about Lithuanians' love for Pink Soup. Bright, fresh, recognizable at first glance... It’s not just soup – it’s a way of life. Returning for the fourth time, the festival, which attracted more than 93,000 fans last year, is set to paint the city pink once again. This love story continues, and this year, we invite you to experience it together!
