Užgavėnės - the funniest Lithuanian festival

Užgavėnės - the festival to end winter in Lithuania. It’s a massive outdoor party of devils, witches, beggars, beasts and monsters! This was filmed in Rumšiškės, on February 26, 2022, one of the few Užgavėnės parties that weren’t cancelled because of the general mood because of Ukraine. Although I don’t agree with cancelling this feast in other cities (including Vilnius) I think its ideology fits perfectly with what’s going on right now. Užgavėnės is not only meant to have fun and scare the winter, but at the same time burning Morė means getting rid of all the bad that’s going on, including a war. --- My name is Justina and I’m travelling around all 60 municipalities of Lithuania, a small country in the north east of Europe as well as other destinations in Europe and my second home Egypt. I make detailed videos about what to do and see in those places so you can get insight of what to expect if you visit it and experience the trip with me 😊 🚗 ✈️ Join me in the trip - subscribe for more videos!
