About this event
Buskers and mime artists take over the cobbled lanes of the Old Town for Riga's 825th birthday, turning corners and courtyards into small stages through the afternoon. There is no fixed seating and no set order to follow: you simply walk, and the city supplies the soundtrack and the silent comedy as you go.
Why we picked it
The most atmospheric strand of Riga's birthday programme, spread across the Old Town and open to all at no charge.
