If you’ve spotted your social media feed being extra pink recently, it’s not a coincidence. The legendary Pink Soup Fest is back, and it is looking more delicious than ever. The annual food festival, held in the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius, celebrates the iconic pink soup, šaltibarščiai (try saying that quickly 10 times), and there’s a whole lineup of fun activities to keep you busy.
This year, the festival kicks off this Friday, May 29, and runs all the way through Sunday, May 31. Our team at Bored Panda has collected some of the most iconic pics from the run-up to the Vilnius Pink Soup Fest 2026 so far, and we invite you to grab a spoon and feast your eyes. And, yes, this is your excuse to embrace the glorious color that is pink and dress up like Barbie and Ken.
