People from Latvia, Palestine, Turkey, Congo, Iran, Russia, and Belarus came together for this event. Rozīte Katrīna Spīča, a member of the folklore group “Rīgas danči”, creatively presented the traditions and history of the Latvian solstice, as well as the mythological meaning of the kokle, inviting those present to unite in singing Midsummer (Līgo) songs. Everyone did quite well. The audience was eager to learn about the rich Latvian cultural heritage and solstice traditions. Participants sang in Latvian and feasted on the prepared treats, Midsummer cheese and summer vegetables, to give them energy for playing summer games.
