«The procession in frightening masks will accompany Mora on her journey through the streets of Vilnius. Let’s make so much noise that scared winter will have nowhere to hide and it will make way for spring. But we know that strong winter will not give up its positions so easily, so we invite everyone dressed in the most interesting masks to gather and participate in the great battle of Kanapinis and Lashinis and be the first to find out who will be the winner this year!» — says the center’s website.
