In the soup town, it will be possible to taste all kinds of soups, which will be served by various communities. This year, among the Maltese friends, it will be possible to meet "Agrorodeo" Dakar team racer Vaidotas Žalas and navigator Saulias Jurgelėnas.
Basketball player Simas Jasaitis has been friends with the Maltese for many years now, and together with comedian Mantas Katleris, he will be serving "Kalnapilis-Tauro Grupė" soup. For the employees of this company, the promotion has already become an inseparable Christmas tradition.
During the celebration, it will be offered to taste "Etno dvaros" šupininė, "Green Hotel" peas, and "Novotel" brand, and the weekly newspaper "Savaitė" will turn into a special kukulaičiai soup on the occasion of the event.
In addition to soups, it will be possible to eat from the Lithuanian shopping chain "Maxima"cake baked by masters. The festive baked goods larger than one and a half meters will be brought to the square by special transport. "Maltiečių sriuba" has been supported by this retail chain for many years. "Thousands of old people in Lithuania need not only financial help, but also attention, it is the responsibility of each of us to contribute to the peaceful everyday life of the elderly. We appreciate the partnership with the Maltese for more than a decade and this and other meaningful initiatives of theirs to help poor seniors," says Maximos CEO Kristina Meidė.
The participants of the soup festival will be joined by more famous people, artists who want to draw public attention to the problems of poor elderly people. This is healthy nutrition specialist Vaida Kurpienė, members of "Colours of Bubbles", Domas Rolis, finalist of "Lietuvos balso" will sing, Jonas Radzevičius will host the event.
We invite everyone to come to the Cathedral Square and, together with the Maltese, take home the warmth that unites everyone from the biggest Christmas tree. This year's Christmas tree in the capital symbolizes time - time to come together for a common goal, to help the weakest part of society, as well as time for ourselves, so that before the holidays we stop to think whether we have forgotten a former old teacher, a lonely neighbor, a distant relative in a hurry, whether their festive table will be rich this year and full.
