10. Summer stage in the City Garden Park

About

The summer stage in Alytus City Garden Park is a revitalised cultural venue nestled within a historic park and surrounded by century-old pine trees. With its light, minimalist architecture, the structure is intentionally understated, blending subtly into its surroundings and bringing the existing landscape and its atmosphere to the forefront.

Designed as a space for gatherings and events, the stage takes a contemporary approach to the traditional outdoor performance venue: open and seemingly floating in the air, its architecture creates visual permeability and a sense of continuity with nature. On ordinary days, it becomes a quiet part of the park for walking and relaxation. When events take place, however, it transforms into a lively cultural focal point. The renewed City Garden stage is a place where architecture takes a step back to reveal what is already there: the rhythm of the trees, the changing light and seasons, and the presence of people. The structure has become an important symbol of Alytus’ identity as a resort city.
