The shortest night and the longest day of the year, celebrating nature and fertility, celebrating ancestral traditions and dancing the night away, revelers are welcome to Mežaparks to the Midsummer Outdoor Ball.
A dance ball in the open (zaļumballe) is a beautiful and sonorous Latvian word that is still used to describe a summer outdoor event of music and dance. It is true that each generation has different associations with this word. For the younger ones it's a party on a stage with a DJ, for people in their forties it's associated with colorful lights in the darkness of a rural stage. Those who grew up in the post-war period think of green spring and summer balls with a stage band and beautiful melodies sung by a handsome soloist. For those who remember the "good old days", balls outside with a brass band, waltz and tango are a memory. This midsummer evening we invite you to a dance evening with a countryside feel, where there is something for every generation.
A buffet will be open all night.
