Tour “Christmas in Interwar Kaunas”

During this tour, you will learn about the Christmas traditions of Lithuania’s temporary capital: how Christmas trees were decorated, what festive dishes were served, seasonal events and celebrations, popular gift trends, and the etiquette of gift-giving. You’ll also hear about masked carnivals and weddings held between Christmas and New Year.
Discover when the classic holiday formula became popular: a new outfit for the wife, a Christmas tree for the children, roast goose with fine drinks, and generous hospitality for guests.
