About us

The Dallas Lithuanian community in America is like a family. We share not only our national heritage and friendships, but also a commitment to staying connected with Lithuania and promoting Lithuanian culture.

Every member contributes in their own way, and together we are stronger—working to support our compatriots and preserve our shared heritage.

We are a diverse group spanning generations, cultures, and traditions. Our goal is not only to maintain our Lithuanian identity, but to renew it and pass it on to future generations. When we gather, we celebrate our love for Lithuania.

The Dallas Lithuanian Community was restored and officially registered on August 6, 2016. We are part of the Lithuanian Community of the United States of America and belong to the Crossroads District.

Our members come from across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex—including Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Southlake, Roanoke, Fort Worth, Arlington, and many neighboring cities.
