Continuing its free summer concert traditions at Sigulda Castle, the "Baltais Flīģelis" (White Grand Piano) Concert hall will once again organize its popular Musical breakfast concerts on Sunday mornings in July. This is an excellent opportunity to have a carefree breakfast with friends and family, while at the same time enjoying special chamber music concerts. Guests can bring along a picnic basket, and it will also be possible to purchase wine and breakfast on the spot.

I will be celebrating my 736th birthday on the 26th, 27th and 28th of July. There will be a festive march, open-air party, cheerful un sportive activities, fair, various workshops. We’ll be watching movies and listening to music. There will be performances by the bands “Pērkons”, “DaGamba”, “Līvi”, “The Sound Poets”, Inokentijs Mārpls and many others. We’ll be adorning ourselves with gorgeous crowns. I will tell interesting stories about myself and of course I’ll be providing all sorts of treats. If you want to present me with a gift, I’d be happy about a greener life – less plastic, more recycling, less garbage, more kindness. I’ve also attached a more detailed summary of the festivities. I will be very happy, I’ve you’ll come share the joy of life! Yours truly, Valmiera.

On the last weekend of July, the International Sigulda Opera festival will once again take place in the picturesque territory of the Sigulda Castle ruins and the Sigulda New castle, where, as usual, music lovers will be able to enjoy performances from both Latvian and internationally acclaimed opera stars.
