Join the Lithuanian Archives Project on Sunday, May 3rd, for a special evening celebrating the life and musical legacy of Petras Sarpalius. Discover his profound impact on the Chicagoland music community during the first half of the 20th century at this commemorative event.

Discover the spiritual and practical significance of traditional Lithuanian sashes (tradicinės lietuviškos juostos), from their protective "magical" patterns to their essential role in daily life. These intricate weavings represent a lifetime of craftsmanship and remain a powerful symbol of gratitude and heritage within the community.
