Love Through Flowers

This year's festival centers on love, expressed through flower colors and forms. Early summer will see blue and violet tones in the park, creating a dreamy atmosphere, later transitioning to reds and pinks. Visitors can enjoy not only colorful flower beds but also a special garden dedicated to men and an exhibition of poisonous plants.

Shakespearean Inspiration

The manor park is adorned with floral sculptures inspired by William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," including a donkey with long ears and Puck with a pink gaze, created by renowned Lithuanian artists. All summer, the manor transforms into an open-air stage where actors perform a comedic story about preparations for the baron's sister's wedding.

Manor Farm and Activities

Festival-goers can explore the historic manor farm with goats, ducklings, peacocks, and a cow named Pupšytė, who recently gave birth to twins named Count and Baron. Daily activities include milking and egg collection. Additional attractions include craft workshops, a 19th-century photography process, historical costumes, a carousel, and outdoor games. The manor is open daily from 12:00 PM; tickets and information are available at www.pakrojasmuiza.lv.
