The story behind it
"Lauksnos" is modeled after UNESCO’s 2003 Convention, showcasing linguistic, musical, and artisanal heritage. As a port city with diverse influences (Lithuanian, Latvian, Polish, German), Klaipėda hosts this festival to promote awareness of shared European cultural roots. It educates the public on traditions like the Lithuanian Song Festivals or cross-crafting while also preserving and celebrating local Minor heritage.
