About
Lithuania's largest folk-craft fair fills Gediminas Avenue and the Old Town streets for three early-March days with palm bundles, linen, amber, smoked treats and the scent of spring.
Highlights
- More than 1,500 vendors in 2026, from craftspeople to food producers.
- The famous Verbos, intricate dried-flower palm bundles unique to Vilnius.
- Smoked meats, gingerbread hearts and amber jewellery everywhere you turn.
Practical tips
- 2027 marks 200 years since merchants won the right to hold a three-day market on Cathedral Square, so expect extra festivities.
- Go early in the day for the best pick of handmade goods before crowds.
- Dress warmly; early March in Vilnius can still be cold and slushy.
