In 1986, under the leadership of the community president Edmundas Kulikauskas, the Los Angeles Lithuanian American Community proudly introduced the Lithuanian Fair. This vibrant celebration of Lithuanian heritage, and culture takes place annually on the first weekend of October at the St. Casimir Lithuanian Catholic Church in the picturesque Silverlake area of Los Angeles, California.

Lithuanian Days offers a captivating display of Lithuanian culture, art, entertainment, and history. Each year, new Lithuanian artisans showcase their diverse crafts, including folk arts, weavings, oils, woods, ceramics, and sculptures. Attendees can explore a variety of Lithuanian treasures such as amber jewelry, fashions, books, music, stamps, coins, medals, and unique souvenirs.

Traditional Lithuanian foods and beverages are a highlight of the fair. Visitors can savor hearty portions of kugelis, a beloved comfort food, or indulge in the sweet, honey-based liqueur “Krupnikas”. Whether dining with friends or grabbing food to go, there’s something to please every palate and every taste!

The fair features a continuous lineup of musical, singing, and dancing performances from global Lithuanian talents. Over the years, artists from Lithuania, Germany, Canada, and various U.S. cities like Chicago and Cleveland have graced the stage, sharing their ethnic pride and remarkable skills.

Today, Lithuanian Days attracts Lithuanians from around the world and stands as the largest Lithuanian cultural festival outside of Lithuania.
