Unity Square

Unity Square is a modern public space in central Kaunas that transforms into a Christmas market with vendor stalls, a decorated tree, and festive lights throughout the winter season. The square features contemporary buildings, shops, and open areas designed for activities and gatherings.

The square was designed as a modern public space to serve as a center for city events and gatherings. The annual Christmas market tradition has become an established part of Kaunas's winter calendar over time.

The square serves as a gathering place where the community comes together to celebrate the season, and the festive decorations reflect how locals value togetherness and shared joy. The market and events here show how holiday traditions are woven into daily city life.

The square has an open layout with clear paths making it easy to walk around and explore the stalls at your own pace. Visitors should plan time to browse the vendors and enjoy the various events, and dress warmly for winter conditions.

Each year a real fir tree is brought to the square and decorated with thousands of colored lights, with a special lighting ceremony featuring performances and music marking the start of the Christmas season. An outdoor ice rink is set up on the square during the season, adding another activity for winter enjoyment.
