What the day is for
16 February marks the 1918 Act of Independence, signed in a Vilnius house on what is now Pilies Street — the original document turned up in a German archive in 2017. Flags line the streets and free museum entry is common.

Public holiday; banks, offices and most shops close.
Getting around
Sunday services; Vilnius old town closes for the flag-raising and processions.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
