Lithuanian garlic fried bread festival

Lithuanians have one culinary rule that no one disputes—the best conversations and evenings happen around a table laden with good snacks!

To celebrate International Brewers’ Day, Druskininkai transforms into one big laboratory of flavors. We’re introducing an intriguing and delicious city event unlike any other in Lithuania—the “Baked Bread Festival”!

What is it, and how will it all unfold?

The festival will take place right in Druskininkai’s restaurants, cafes, and bars!
