Vilnius, Lithuania - A quick musical tour






To properly Tour a nation, YOU must see its capital City and Vilnius is the capital and largest city of Lithuania.

Let this brief Tour give you a little flavor of Lithuania's pride since its early history. You will see here and elsewhere the pride taken in maintaining Lithuania's history and the forward looking aspect of a people looking far ahead.

At the suggestion of Ben Eavey, our look was changed to look a little brighter, lighter. Hope you find it easier.

We will try to continue our effort and slogan of "The Best Is Yet To Come" - Geriausia Dalis Ateityje.

As we continue to give you a tour of Lithuania, its people, its culture and more. Come to Vilnius in July 2007 for the Son Festival - Dainu Svente.

Lithuania's National Costumes



If you want to know a litttle about a people, study their culture. Here is a little insight into the people and their customs and their pride.

Lithuania's National costumes from the five ethnic regions There are four major ethnic regions in Lithuania: Zemaitija (Western Lithuania), Aukstaitija (Central and Eastern Lithuania), Dzukija (south- eastern Lithuania on both sides of the Nemunas river), Suvalkija (the northern parts to the south of the Nemunas river). The westernmost part of Zemaitija around the port of Klaipeda is rather different from the rest of this region. It has been known as Lithuania Minor. (A part of what has been known as Lithuania Minor is now included into the Russian Federation and Kaliningrad region (formerly Konigsberg).

Necessity is the Mother of Invention and WE are blessed with many who inspire, suggest, and help to open doors when there is a desire.
