Nestled on the shores of the Baltic Sea, Latvia is a proud member of the European Union and NATO. With two million inhabitants and a territory only by a third bigger than the Netherlands, Latvia is one of Europe’s greenest and most forested countries. It’s where Art Nouveau meets digital innovation, and folk songs share space with start-up success. Whether you’re drawn to Riga’s architectural elegance, the serene coastlines or rich traditions, Latvia is a place that surprises and stays with you.

At this year’s Embassy Festival, the Embassy of Latvia invites you to experience the heart and soul of our nation through live performance and authentic flavours. Enjoy performance by a traditional Latvian folk group, choir and dance ensemble, showcasing the beauty of Latvian culture. Through music, dance and song, artists will bring to life the traditions that have connected generations – from joyful folk melodies to the unforgettable rhythms of Latvian midsummer and Song and Dance Festival celebrations.

At the International Market visit our stall and discover a delicious selection of traditional Latvian food, made with love and rooted in our seasonal, nature-inspired cuisine. From rye bread to smoked delicacies and sweet treats, every bite tells a story of our homeland.

Come and find us at the Festival!
