About this event
The centrepiece of Riga's 825th birthday spreads across the riverfront and the Old Town: music stages and dance on 11. novembra krastmala, a craftspeople's market on Dome Square, cultural performances in Vermanes Garden, international street art in Uzvaras Park and roaming buskers and mime artists through the medieval lanes. The city's motto this year is "Atver Rigu! Kods: 825".
Why we picked it
The biggest civic celebration in Latvia this summer, free and concentrated in walkable central Riga.
