About this event
Riga turns 825 and hands the whole waterfront over to the party. Stages along the 11 November Embankment carry Auli, Citi zeni, Ozols and Alejas through to the small hours, closing with the commissioned concert production Mana partitura Riga, which gathers choirs, dancers and musicians across generations. A laser, fountain and video show over the Daugava ends the night.
