On December 9, Thursday, a Christmas tree was lit in the square near the central palace of VDU. During the community Christmas celebration, guests feasted on baked goods distributed by organizations, listened to live music and participated in creative workshop activities.

The celebration was opened by the national dance ensemble "Žilvitis" of VMU students, the vice-rector of VMU studies, Assoc. Kęstutis Šidlauskas and vice-rector of international relations Ineta Dabašinskienė.

Also, guests could take pictures in the space decorated with Christmas decorations.
