RAPOLINĖS 2026 | CAFE

For the third year in a row, we have been hearing that there will be a café in RAPOLO in the future.
For now, as befits some future plans, it is still in the future.

This year, during RAPOLINES, we decided not to wait for it anymore - for one evening, RAPOLAS itself will become a café.

Not exactly the kind where you come just for coffee – although there will be coffee, of course. More like the kind where, in one evening, you can encounter an exhibition, an installation, jazz, different bands, memory, a ghost, wishes, and people you may not have had time to meet yet.

Because once a year, RAPOLAS celebrates itself. More precisely, the people who create RAPOLE, with RAPOLAS, in Utena and from Utena. And, of course, everyone who comes to meet it.

As always at RAPOLE - some things are planned.
And some of it, hopefully, will just happen.
