On Saturday, March 27, the shopping center “Pupa” (Priegliaus St. 1) located in the Pilaitė microdistrict of Vilnius invites you to the spring festival “Color the Spring”. Here, children can spend the whole day and adults can enjoy free pre-Easter classes, during which they will learn how to print eggs, weave willows, and make nests for returning birds.
The culmination of the event is a birdhouse festival. Anyone who wants to can learn how to make a birdhouse for birds. Participants of the group led by artist Vytautas Arlauskas will accompany many different birdhouses in a fun procession and place them in the Naujoji Pilaitė forest near the shopping center.
“We hope that the spring campaign to make and build nests for birds in Pilaitė will take root and become a beautiful tradition,” says Aistė Adamonytė, head of PC “Pupa”.
During the spring festival, non-traditional egg-printing training will also be held, led by folk artist Elytė Mikeliūnienė. According to her, the most important thing is to learn how to create a celebration yourself, to be able to delight yourself and others with beautiful, handmade Easter eggs.
Those who want to learn how to weave verbs will find a traditional verb weaving group and its leader, verb weaver and author of the world’s largest verb, Agata Granicka.
All classes held at the shopping center are free, you just need to register, participate, and be willing to learn.
According to A. Adamonytė, by symbolically commemorating the holidays and promoting various initiatives, the aim is, first of all, to look at the role of a shopping center in a residential area in a different way. “We believe that a shopping center can serve an excellent purpose by performing not only its direct but also social function – contributing to the formation of a community. We aim for residents to communicate, to create the environment in which they live. The experience of the circles organized in the winter, before Christmas, has shown that those who met in them continue to communicate to this day,” she says.
Pre-registration for clubs begins March 22nd on the website www.pcpupa.lt
