Music festival "Galapagai 2014"

Last weekend (at 1th and 2th of August) in Zarasai was organizing big music festival "Galapagai 2014".
This year like everytime there was many-many people. All people was from different countries but of course mostly from Lithuania and Zarasai. Galapagai toke place in one big island which situated in Zarasai and surounded by the lake. People could come and stay in their tents. It's very comfortable cause you can every time enjoy the fest and music.
On the fest was a few stages with different kind of music. Main stage was with rock - pop music. The most interesting band for me have played there were The Baseballs (rock-n-roll) from Germany, also SKAMP (rock-r'n'b), Lemon Joy (pop-rock) and Leon Somov & Jazzu (soul) from Lithuania. Another stage was mostly with different kind of electronical music. I really enjoyed Mr.Woodnote and Lyl Rhys (hip-hop/jazz) from UK and Jurgis Didžiulis (electronica) from  Lithuania.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Mary and me
 
I was on the fest together with some other past and present volunteers who also interested in it. So there also were Alba (girl from Spain). She is working in National park in Ignalina. And Mary (girl from Armenia) who works in Anykščiai regional park. Also there were two italian girls Barbara and Cinzia. They worked in the library last year. They came to Zarasai to visit library and their lithuanian friends.
We spent amazing weekend all together. I could say it was one of the most interesting and unusual time I had during EVS. The company and atmosphere on the fest was really friendly and cozy. If I ll be able to do it again in the future I would be happy to visit Galapagai once (but may be not once) again. And I definitely recomend you doing the same and you ll try to feel the same emotions I had.
