About this event
Riga marks its 825th birthday with a sprawling free programme across the city on 15 August. Expect the My Riga Score anniversary concert, stage performances, a Red Bull Showrun, a multimedia spectacle on the Daugava river and late-night DJ sets, all spilling across the Old Town, riverside and central parks. The flagship day of a fortnight of celebrations, and one of summer 2026's biggest free events in the Baltics.
