On 23 June, a fiery and magical Feast of St. John takes place on Jonas Hill, where summer solstice is celebrated and Jonai and Janinas are congratulated. That extraordinary night, the unique place of celebration combines the main elements: fire, water and herbs.

The night is lit up not only by the longer warmth of the sun, but also by the burning fire and impressively flaming straw witches personifying hardship. The fire lit up at midnight unites the participants of the celebration in jolly dance circles.

Fayre of St. John's Feast held that day is becoming a beautiful tradition.
