A series of posters about Latvia prepared by the Latvian Institute in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Latvia and the Latvian Tourism Development Agency.

Latvia's 3,000 year old cultural traditions are still a vital part of Latvian life today. The Midsummer solstice celebration of 'Jani' is just one of many holidays that continues to enrich the social lives of contemporary Latvians. Musical festivals, crafts fairs and historical re-enactments attract the young and the old from all walks of life, and provide a look at values and traditions that have disappeared in many other parts of the world . In Latvia, traditions are not just a tourist attraction - they are a part of everyday life.
