The Night of Ancient Light
The Baltic communities of the Bay Area will be joining our friends and families back home who will be lighting bonfires along the Baltic Sea on this day. So we are inviting you to light a bonfire on the Ocean Beach in San Francisco. Come and join us on August 25 at 7pm at the entrance number 17th across from the Beach Chalet restaurant in San Francisco. We are bringing the fire, you bring drinks, snacks, and s'mores.
The Baltic Sea is a link between our neighbors, fellow-countrymen and people from all around the Sea.
Now is the time to think about the significance of the Sea. The Sea must be well-kept and protected in order for own sake and for the sake of our descendants.

2018 Baltic Picnic Video
Thank you to everyone who made the 2018 Baltic picnic such a success! It would not have been possible without support from all of our three communities, the Lithuanians, Latvians, and Estonians. We hope you all had a great time.
You might have noticed us filming and taking photos during the event. We wanted to capture and share our celebration in honor of this year's special centennial anniversary. And now, you can all see the results in the link below!
