During MJR holidays on a spectacular island the festival programme will also present exclussive lectures, tribal workshops, crafts, traditional rites, art exhibitions and projects, films, excursions, sport tournaments, folk dances and DJs, as well as nice dreams, pure nature, whispering trees, dancing fire and singing waters...

The main theme for MJR 2008 will be mythological beings "aitvarai" (brownie, also kite). So You'll be welcome to make and fly your kite as well. And historical dedication to the Lithuanian Resistence fight after WWII.
