Program 30-31 December:

On Saturday at from 10 AM to 1 PM there will be a dream catcher workshop under the guidance of Elina Caune, where children with their parents will be able to take care of sleep in the new year. Following ancient Indian traditions in North America, the dream catcher has a frame hung over the bed head so that the good dreams are captured and kept, but the bad ones go. Different beads, threads, feathers, stones, shells and bells will be used to make dream catchers.

On Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM at the market visitors will be able to do fortune on happiness with metal master Edvinas Šakali. It is one of the best-known traditions in the old year's extinction - the molten metal turns into a drawing that shows what to expect in the new year.

That day from 11 AM to 3 PM representatives of the children's games and toys brand "Rikarwo" will offer to develop imagination and design skills - using wooden blocks, to build an airport complex both on the basis of assembly instructions and to construct their own structures. In parallel, you will have the opportunity to play another large-format club game - "Building a tower", where coordination skills will be important.
