Guests can enjoy and buy unique art in categories like jewelry, ceramics, woodwork, photography, and more. Live performances will include the Latvian dance group Ansamble Lielupe, performing the traditional dance Rotaļdancis. Artists will compete for prizes, and local high school students can win scholarships through their art submissions.
