In 1994, the first festival "Suklegos" brought together traditional music performers and contemporary music creators, who find their inspiration in ethnic music, with the festival's founders Asta Vandytė and folklore performer Veronika Povilionienė.
The seventh festival "Suklegos", which successfully crossed the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, was organised by the Kaunas Ethnic Activities Club. The new team, led by Artūras Sinkevičius, nurtured and grew the festival until 2018 with its own initiative and sincere work.
Although the Suklegos festival has been silent for several years in Kaunas, in autumn 2024, in the last week of September, which has become a tradition, the festival will once again invite music lovers to its hometown Kaunas, only this time it will be created by the association "Etnoerdvė".
