Christopher Summer Festival (Kristupo festivalis)
About
Lithuania's big crossover summer music festival turns Vilnius churches, courtyards and parks into concert halls for two months, mixing classical with jazz, world music and contemporary sounds. The 2027 edition runs under the theme \"Beacons\".
Highlights
- Two months of concerts, with something on most weeks of the summer
- Classical meets jazz, world and contemporary music under the motto 'More of the World of Music'
- Concerts in historic churches, intimate courtyards and city parks
Practical tips
- Concerts in St. Catherine's Church are the most atmospheric. Book those early
- The programme is usually published in spring. Check the festival site before you travel
- Pair an evening concert with dinner in the Old Town, since most venues are within walking distance
