The Herb Market is an old tradition in Vilnius which was reanimated in 2007. The Market takes place on the last weekend before Saint John’s festival (Rasos or Joninės). The market gathers annually more than 100 herbalists who offer their products and educate the society about the old tradition of natural medicine.

Saint John’s day is the day when herbs have their best qualities, therefore the Herb Market is a perfect place to prepare for it and to enjoy the power of nature, as well as its relation to the traditional culture.
