Celebrate midsummer in Latvian spirit!

Latvia is one of the countries who has the brightest traditions in midsummer day, called the Jānis day celebration.

A great feast, song and dance, the shortest night of the year spent in front of a bonfire, mystical rituals and even a bit of romance – this is what makes the Līgo celebration or Jāņi. Jāņi is celebrated on the summer solstice on 23 and 24 June. This pagan-like holiday is almost more popular in Latvia than New Year's Eve and Christmas.
