Riga is getting ready to party like never before. 2026 marks the city’s massive 825th anniversary.
Throughout August, the streets of Old Riga will come alive. Think contemporary circus, free riverside concerts, and insane street arts.
One of the biggest highlights is the Re Rīga! festival running from August 8th to 15th. It’s bringing artists and crazy performances right into the heart of the city.
Locals and tourists are going to see Riga transformed. Neighborhood celebrations, musical parks, and massive light shows are taking over.
If you’re looking for the ultimate summer vibe, this is it. Get ready to hit the 11 November Embankment for the main birthday bash.
