24th and final edition of the festival.
 
Mėnuo Juodaragis (Black-Horned Moon or MJR for short) was a unique, independent festival of contemporary Baltic culture and alternative music that represented the heritage of pagan tradition, post-folk currents, and the vanguard of postmodern music. Each year, this innovative and outstanding event assumed new forms of expression, including a variety of performances from both Baltic and foreign artists, shows by sound architects, ancient rituals, lectures, and films on many fascinating topics. The festival featured exhibitions, traditional crafts, eco-art projects, interactive art projects, performances, games, dance parties, hikes, and more.
 
The final edition of Mėnuo Juodaragis was illuminated by the miraculous light of Dawn. The starry shroud of night descended, and the light of the rising Sun began a new Day. Mėnuo Juodaragis completed his cyclic journey with inspiring hope – the Dawn filled the world with fabulous beauty, idealism, and radiant holiness.
