This festival was first organized because for many culture characters, Vilnius needed an instrumental folk music. It is the oldest folklore festival in Vilnius, Lithuania. So it was first held in 1973 in halls of Vilnius and Park of Mountains with the name of “Skamba, Skamba, Kankliai”, included various songs and dances.
Since then, a traditional culture of the festival has been developed. The festival became a mean for restore the faith of the citizens in their country during the resistance against Soviets. In 1979, the festival spread to the University of Vilnius, where students enjoyed music and dance together, but also spread to concert halls. Every year, new venues were added for the festival, spreading to the whole city, during a full week.
