For three days every March, the entire Vilnius' Old Town transforms into something rare in modern Europe: five kilometers of living craftsmanship. Not a staged market. Not a curated Instagram setup. A real, working artisan fair where 1,200 certified craftspeople take over the streets. This is Kaziukas Fair — one of the oldest open-air craft fairs in Europe.

It is contemporary light art embedded into baroque façades, church interiors, hidden courtyards and underground spaces — all within walking distance. And it’s free.
