Cēsis – it’s a celebration

Cēsis, one of Latvia’s most beautiful small towns, entices visitors in summer with the pristine nature of the Gauja Valley, a medieval atmosphere, and modern art. In winter, it invites guests to the largest skiing center in the Baltics, renowned for its diverse trails and longest runs in the region.

Sestdien, 1.jūnijā, ar krāšņu un krāsainu izklaides un kultūras programmu Līgatne aicina svinēt pilsētas svētkus.
Sportisks rīts modinās līgatniešus spirgtā skrējienā, tam sekos Līgatnes bērnu koncerts būs baudāms bagātīgs tirdziņa piedāvājums.
Dienu papildinās Līgatnes muzikālā teātra pirmā pirmizrāde Līgatnes Kultūras namā. Vakarpusē estrādi pieskandinās Līgatnes amatierkolektīvu koncerts, un svētku kulminācijā baudīsim grupas “Dziļi violets” uzstāšanos, ko iesildīs jauniešu grupa “Puķu podi”.
Lai padarītu Cēsis draudzīgākas gājējiem, riteņbraucējiem un tirgotājiem, ar prieku ziņojam – gada siltākajās nedēļas nogalēs Rīgas iela tiks atvērta kā gājēju iela. 13 nedēļas nogales cēsniekiem un pilsētas viesiem būs iespēja baudīt dažādas kultūras norises
“Papīrfabrikas Festivāls ” ir harmoniska dzīvesstila festivāls, kas šī gada 10.augustā no plkst.11.00 līdz 21.30 notiks Līgatnes papīrfabrikas plašajā pagalmā. Ieeja festivālā bez maksas.
Pasākuma programmā: papīrfabrikas apskate, radošās mākslas un amatniecības darbnīcas, plašs mājražotāju produkcijas tirgus un kafejnīcas, koncerti, sarunu un diskusiju skatuve, mākslas plenēri, izstādes un instalācijas, garā galda svinības ar restorānu “Pavāru Māja”, izglābto grāmatu bibliotēka, kustību prakses un citas harmoniskas aktivitātes.
Festivāls aicina no mūsdienu straujā ritma pāriet uz rāmāku, nesteidzīgāku un apzinātāku būšanu. Iedvesmoties harmoniskām attiecībām pašiem ar sevi, apkārtējiem un dabu, apgūt jaunas prasmes un atklāt talantus, satikt līdzīgi domājošos un pašiem sevi.
