An Exciting Weekend at the LWC

The Lithuanian World Center has come alive! So many activities take place under our roof and so many amazing events are born here, bringing so many people together to our facility.

Here’s a brief summary of some of the events that took place at the LWC during May 13 – 15, 2022.

On Friday and Saturday,  Maironis Lithuanian School students celebrated the completion of yet another school year, having gained much knowledge about Lithuanian culture, grammar and history.

On Saturday, our community enjoyed an exhibition and a heartwarming concert in honor of Dr. Juozas Kazickas. The works were performed by the Lithuanian Choral Ensemble Dainava and the Vyturys Children’s Choir, led by Music Director Darius Polikaitis, with poignant narration by Audrė Budrytė-Nakienė.

On Sunday morning, a group of Lithuanian American children received the sacrament of First Holy Communion.

Outdoors, the LWC Spring Fair took place under sunny skies.  Guests enjoyed delicious Lithuanian delicacies, unique crafts, stunning jewelry, and more!

At the same time, the International Children’s Dance Festival took place in Riškus Hall, which included performances by children of Lithuania, Polish, Slovenian and Ukrainian heritage!
