Latvian Ethnographic Open-Air Museum is a place where ancient Latvian traditions are held in high regard and where visitors can learn about the way of life of the ancient Latvians. Those who visit the museum before and on the Līgo! Midsummer holiday will be able to find out how to properly celebrate Līgo!
The summer solstice marks a turning point in nature and in the agricultural calendar – the longest day and shortest night, and the conclusion of sowing and plowing for the farmer.
The Latvian Ethnographic Open-air Museum popularizes this traditional Latvian holiday, but it also is adapted to modern thinking and lifestyle, to make one understand the meaning of traditions and their value back then and today.
