Kilkim Žaibu (from Lithuanian "arise/soar with the lightning"[1]) is an extreme metal festival in the Baltic region, Europe held annually since 1999. The festival distinguishes itself from other major metal festivals by incorporating the shows of metal aesthetic-related performers such as medieval folk bands and historical reconstruction clubs, as well as a blacksmith and artisan market.[1]

From 2010, the festival takes place at Lūkstas lake in the town of Varniai, Lithuania. Before that, it had been happening at "Plūgo broliai" in Joniškis, Lithuania.
