During the evening of Nov. 1, the annual tradition of lighting thousands of candles commemorating the departed will commence in Kaunas’ Old Town, reports ELTA.

For the twelfth year Students’ Representation of Vilnius University Kaunas Faculty of Humanities is organizing the event River of Souls, which will light up the autumnal Kaunas city.

According to the organizers, the first event was minor, taking place only at the University. However, it has been spreading ever as more and more people participate.

Last year, the event was acknowledged as the best one organized by youth communities in Kaunas. This year the organizers are encouraging people to visit Kaunas city center from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. and become part of the event remembering the departed.
