Druskininkai Resort Festival 2024
On the last weekend of May, Druskininkai invites all those who are thirsty for rest and entertainment to welcome the beginning of the summer season in a joyful and thunderous way – the traditional Druskininkai Resort Festival will take place here. And as Druskininkai is celebrating its 230th birthday this year, the town is organising an eventful, exciting, thunderous, colourful and full of surprises Birthday Party that will last for three days!
Hotels and SPAs are ready to welcome guests, cafés and restaurants are setting up tables on outdoor terraces, cyclists have updated and prepared routes for their trips around the area, and the boats waiting for passengers for a fun ride on the Nemunas river.
A wide programme of open-air activities will be spread out in different areas of the resort, easily accessible on foot. Concerts and other activities are planned so that you can hear and see everything.
Just a reminder that all events are free!
