About this event
The peak of the Perseid meteor shower is marked with an all-night concert in the University of Latvia's botanical garden, with pianist Reinis Zariņš — one of Latvia's finest classical musicians — playing under an open sky from nine until two in the morning. Glasshouses, dark lawns and falling stars; among the most distinctive free listings anywhere in the Baltics this August.
Why we picked it
Classical piano in a botanical garden during the Perseid meteor peak, running to 2am, for free — an unrepeatable night.
Free entry
Listed as free entry (bez maksas) on the official Riga city summer programme site.
