The City of Lublin invites to the celebrations commemorating the 454th anniversary of the Union of Lublin. This year's celebrations will feature a performance by the youth chamber choir "Aidija" from Vilnius.
The Polish-Lithuanian union concluded in our city in 1569, which combined the traditions and cultures of various nations living in a common state, is considered one of the most important events in the history of Poland and Europe. As part of this year's celebration we will have the opportunity to see the concert of the Chamber Choir "Aidija" from Vilnius, our partner city, which celebrates its 700th anniversary this year. I invite the inhabitants of Lublin to celebrate together - says Krzysztof Żuk, Mayor of Lublin.
The Union of Lublin Day will start on Saturday (July 1) at 11.00 at Litewski Square, where representatives of local and regional authorities and different delegations will lay flowers at the monument of the Union of Lublin. At 11:00 there will be opening of the temporary exhibition entitled OBRRAZ at the Museum of the Eastern Territories of the Old Polish Republic (Litewski Square 3).
