Jun

Saint Jonas' Festival, celebrated on June 24th, is a fun holiday many people in Lithuania enjoy. It's like a big summer party that marks the longest day of the year. People light big bonfires, dance, and sing songs. They also make flower wreaths to wear on their heads. Sometimes, they play games like looking for special flowers called "ferns," though ferns don't actually bloom! The festival is all about celebrating nature, having fun with family and friends, and enjoying the sunlight. It's a time when everyone comes together to enjoy the beautiful start of summer.

How to celebrate Saint Jonas Festival?

Celebrate Saint Jonas' Festival by having a fun day outdoors! Spend time with friends and family in a big park or field. Play games like tag or soccer to enjoy the sunny weather. Make a picnic with lots of yummy food, like sandwiches and fruit. As the sun starts to set, gather around a bonfire. Sing songs, dance, and tell stories by the warm fire. Make a wish and jump over the small bonfire for good luck. Enjoy the beautiful nature around you and stay up late to see the starry sky. Have lots of fun and make happy memories!
