The birthday of Kaunas City is one of the most famous cultural events of Kaunas, organized for

several years in a row. In 2018, the 610th anniversary granting of Magdeburg rights is coming up,

which is incredibly important date for Kaunas city. Kaunas is the only city in Lithuania that is now

part of the New Hanseatic City Union, giving the celebration a medieval identity, which distinguishes

this event from any other Lithuanian town holidays. The audience is invited to get acquainted with

the culture, music, dances, plays, games, crafts, knights of that time, who fight in the international

tournament to win the captain of the Lithuanian Armed Forces.
