This year, Latvia’s second-largest city will celebrate its 748th anniversary.
The City Festival will take place from the 2nd to the 4th of June. As usual, many events will be held during the festival –food fairs, performances, concerts, sports activities, exhibitions, and other events.
The tradition of the Song and Dance Festival, which turns 150 years old this year, will also play a special role in the Daugavpils City Festival program. This year, almost 600 participants from Daugavpils will take part in the XXVII General Latvian Song and XVII Dance Festival – dance collectives, choirs, orchestras, minority collectives, folk applied art studios, an ensemble of percussionists, who will join together in a magnificent concert program as part of the city festival, each performing a part of Songs and Dances holiday repertoire.
