Festival of flowers and movie stars

Festival Program

Each day

When nature is in full bloom and the air is filled with romance and adventure, Pakruojis Manor invites you to the biggest summer celebration – the Flower Festival, which this year will become a blooming open-air film set.

Walking the red carpet, you’ll find yourself in a whirlwind of flowers and stars. A sparkling runway, applause, and camera flashes await – here, everyone can feel like a true movie star.

In the manor park and flower gardens, classic films come to life: heroes will fight for justice, stunt performers will leap across rooftops, and romantic love confessions will echo among the monardas. The adventures of Tadas Blinda, unexpected twists, and movie-worthy moments will be found in every corner of the estate – just like a true Hollywood script. And who knows – maybe somewhere among the blossoms you’ll even meet your favorite character?

Pakruojis Manor invites you to dive into a summer cinema dream, where every flower has a role, and every guest – an unforgettable story.
