Daugavpils’ partner city Visaginas invites you to celebrate its 50th anniversary!

This summer, Lithuania’s youngest city – Visaginas – proudly marks a milestone: its 50th anniversary. Known for its rich multicultural identity, Visaginas warmly welcomes friends from Daugavpils and all across Latvia to join in the celebrations. The festivities will be at their peak from 31 July to 10 August.

For ten vibrant days, Visaginas will come alive with the rhythm of culture – a celebration where the city’s history, community spirit, and creative present intertwine. The jubilee events will open with a contemporary circus from the Netherlands by Lake Visaginas, and continue with exhibitions, concerts, theatrical performances, film screenings, and community-led initiatives.

Highlights include:

  • Youth Fashion Exhibition curated by the Alexander Vasiliev Foundation
  • The “Atomic Humour Festival” – two hours of high-quality stand-up comedy
  • Jazz evenings by the lake at sunset – a magical atmosphere set to music
  • community waltz, uniting the city with performances from local talent
  • Nightly “Scanorama” film screenings, showcasing both Lithuanian and European cinema
  • final weekend filled with live music (featuring G&G Sindikatas and Ivan Dorn), DJ parties and a spectacular laser show

The grand finale takes place on 10 August, when Ukrainian pop icon Ivan Dorn takes the main stage for a show-stopping performance, culminating in a dazzling laser show at Santarvė Square.

This celebration is more than just a series of events – it’s an invitation to reconnect, to reflect on our shared history, and to create new memories together.
