Thousands of city residents and guests getting together in the heart of Vilnius for the Vilnius Pink Soup Fest. The entire city is painted pink to celebrate Lithuania’s iconic summertime dish, šaltibarščiai, or cold beetroot soup, with costumes, activities and music. Attendees got to enjoy a scenic, 50-meter-long pink slide down Bastion Hill into a huge inflatable bowl of cold pink soup, to try a wide range of pink soup-based recipes, from ice cream to cocktails.
