For several days now, residents have been actively expressing their desire to participate in the "Magic Vilnius Light Festival and Free Museums" event published on Facebook - that's what it's called event, whose organizer is not Vilnius city municipality, and UAB "Autrega".
Almost 23 thousand of people (as of January 4) are interested in this event and will travel to the Vilnius Light Festival... from Panevėžys. Because that's exactly what the event description says. 10 o'clock UAB "Autrega" organizes the departure from Panevėžys and promises to take them all the way to the Vilnius Light Festival on January 28. Since it's Sunday, it's a great opportunity to visit free museums together. With free museums and a festival of light in the title, it's a great way to attract a lot more people to the event.
"In our assessment, some people are taking advantage of the high public interest in the event and creating Facebook events for personal gain. Unfortunately, the social network Facebook does not limit who and what kind of events can be created, so we have no way to avoid cases like this," said Gabrielius Grubinskas, Vilnius city municipalities Media relations specialist.
The municipality shares the official event link. Here is the name corresponding to the event, as well as all the days of the event and its description. Also, the cover is specially designed for this year's Festival of Lights.
This year, the brightest Vilnius festival will take place on January 25-28. Vilnius residents and guests of the city will be greeted by modern installations, architectural objects, digital art and other lighting design solutions. The festival exhibits will be open every evening from 18:23 to XNUMX:XNUMX.
