Song And Dance Festival

The Song and Dance Festival is one of the most mysterious Latvia festivals in 2022, where you'll be awed by Latvia's outstanding choral music and folk dance. It is noted that choir singing is an essential part of Latvia's identity. The most important event in Latvian culture and social life has been held since 1873 and takes place every five years.

During the festival, the streets and neighborhood are overrun by singers and dancers dressed in traditional Latvian costumes. There are many exhibitions of photography, art and folk craft, orchestra concerts, and a festive parade. Besides, events and competitions leading up to the event are held throughout the interval between festivals. Although traditional folk songs and classical choir songs are normally sung a cappella, new popular songs have recently been added to the repertoire. For tourists, you can also buy souvenirs and other arts and crafts.
