Wild taste, conversation and paper Festival in Ligatne "Pārceltuve"

Līgatne most often is associated with paper, as many of us still remember the Ligatne paper mill that has been operating here. Now, when it is closed, our love for paper has not been changed. The ferry connects the two banks of Gauja always uniting right and left, close and far. We invite you to participate in Līgatne Festival, devoted to conversations and try our natural tastes in restaurants that will be bringing their goods here.


The name of Ligatne is most often associated with paper in Latvia. And even though the paperwork factory has a tenderness - we want to believe, temporarily - it has been sacrificed, the greetings' love of paper has been preserved. Consequently, a traditional paper Festival in Ligatne this year will be again, moreover, with newly-acquired edges, in which Latvian food will be rooted, the dishes and master's conversations of Latvian chefs will flash. On August 5, the first Outdoor Flavours, Paper and Ligatne Conversation Festival "Outlet" will be held in Ligatne.

The ferry connecting the right and left, the near and far, the familiar and the alien. The ferry connecting the nature of the Līgatne with conversations, which helps to understand the trails and flavours of the area. It combines the history of the pulled paper with its Puritan future. The simplicity of open-air cooking is combined with the striking sophistication of the one-day restaurant. A tugboat allows us to move from what we are, in what we would like to become.

Throughout the day, in a conversation of natural taste, the lovers will share what they themselves discovered in nature. We will listen to the stories of Jacob Dmitry, Init Danilain, Aigars Ruņģs, Astras Spalvāne, Ēriks Dreibants - and, as they are already in talks, they listen to themselves also.

On this day, it will be possible to find out what the local farmer really is doing in the field and their farms. On the Ligatne market, t the ade will take place both with edible and various other benefits. In turn, the chambers and workshops will be able to try the paper-making and drink-making trades, learn how to recognize meadow plants, capture food in photography and learn other skills. In the course of the day, we will organize educational excursions - visit the Ligatne paper mill, find out the mushrooms found in the area, and observe the birds that live here. Let's walk along the nature trails of Ligatne, and in various places, we can find open-air cafes, where hungry people will be able to cope with different kinds of seasonal wines.
