Summer Solstice in Latvia

As the Sun hits it's apex in the sky with the longest day being followed by the shortest night of the year Latvians turn to their roots and celebrate Summer Solstice. Music by Iļģi.

    It is not just a midsummer celebration for us as - over the centuries, Latvia has been invaded by Swedes, Russians, Germans (with the Russians and the Germans even coming back for a second go) and ancient traditions helped Latvians hang on to their sense of national identity, even in the darkest days of foreign occupation.
