16 February is a special day in Lithuania, commemorating the restoration of the Lithuanian State. Every year, this celebration is marked by various events, including concerts, which take place all over the country, including the capital Vilnius. These concerts usually include both traditional and contemporary music performed by local and sometimes international artists. Due to the symbolic significance of this day, concerts and events are not only for entertainment but also to strengthen national identity, history and cultural heritage. 

 
Traditionally, concerts are held to celebrate the restoration of Lithuania's independence, featuring works by Lithuanian composers, as well as hymns and patriotic songs. 

Classical music lovers can enjoy concerts by symphony orchestras and chamber ensembles, which are often held in the country's concert halls and cultural centres. 

Free concerts in town squares and other public spaces, featuring a wide range of music artists. These events are open to all who wish to celebrate and often end with fireworks.

Educational institutions also contribute to the celebrations by organising concerts featuring school choirs, ensembles and soloists. 

In recent years, in line with public safety needs, certain events may be moved to virtual space, allowing people to celebrate at home.
