About the Festival

“Galapagai” is a music and active entertainment festival, which annually gathers those who are indifferent to live music and stormy free time, which has been taking place since 2011. In 2019, Galapagos allowed to experience its best vibe in a new place. All five scenes, many good surprises and dozens of cool entertainments moved from Zarasi, which has been in operation for many years, to the joy of discovery in the wonderful Palušė. However, at the urging of festival visitors, we boldly say that it is time for the festival to return home to Zaras Island in 2023!

The festival spreads an atmosphere of lively splashing and raw emotions with music of various genres. Several dozens of Lithuanian and world-famous music performers appear every year on the five stages of the festival. Festival energy is awakened by bright entertainment, sports competitions and extreme shows taking place on an island surrounded by a lake.

The festival also contributes to social initiatives, by holding a traditional race of dogs and their owners, as means of encouraging the help to homeless animals.

It is the only festival in Lithuania that is involved in the European Talent Exchange Program (ETEP) and has been nominated as the best festival in the category of small European festivals, for a few years in a row.
