The 67th Klaipėda Sea Festival opens Friday with a cinema-inspired theme, transforming Lithuania’s port city into a giant film set for three days of concerts, performances and cultural events.

The festival will officially begin at noon with the raising of the festival flag near Klaipėda Castle.

This year’s edition, held under the slogan Like in the Movies, will feature film-themed decorations and installations across the city. Organisers have prepared oversized film reels, 2-meter-tall director’s chairs and a movie-themed photo backdrop on Biržos Bridge, while festival venues will incorporate cinematic visual elements.

The opening concert at the Cruise Ship Terminal on Friday evening will feature Lithuanian performers Liepa Mondeikaitė, Atlanta, Lemon Joy and DJ Jovani.

Saturday’s lineup includes Lithuanian singer Evgenya Redko, British singer-songwriter and BRIT Award winner Emeli Sande, Adrina and DJ Mamania.
