On 15th August there was a big celebration at the Beekeeping Museum - a Honey Harvest Festival.
It started in the morning with a visitation of the former president of Lithuania, who after being shown around the visitor centre, went to Ladakalnis to plant an oak.
The celebrations continued at the Beekeeping Museum where a concert was performed for the local people and all guests. After the former president and the other official guests greeted everybody and inaugurated the festival, different local and Estonian folk groups danced and sang. At the end of the concert they invited the guests to join them in the dances and even the former president took part in!
There were a lot of stalls where you could buy honey and propolis, wax candles, glass figures, a lot of things to eat and to drink. Everybody could also take part in a workshop and learn how to harvest honey and of course had the chance to sample it after that. For the children there was a drawing workshop.
Once the official part was over the dances transfered into the forest, and our colleagues and we enjoyed a small feast in the company of Daniele's new love.
