The story

Artisoks Sports and Youth Festival in Daugavpils

Artisoks is Daugavpils' largest youth festival, held each August 3 from 10am at the central beach of Big Stropu Lake. The day combines a wide range of sports, from table tennis, karate, and taekwondo to weightlifting, orienteering, beach volleyball, speedway, and motocross, with creative workshops and youth-organization activities. It draws local young people alongside guests from other Latvian cities and abroad, making it a lakeside meeting point for youth culture across the region.

Daugavpils, Latvia's second-largest city, hosts a dense calendar of summer events, but Artisoks occupies a distinct niche as the city's largest festival built specifically around youth culture rather than music, food, or civic celebration.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What distinguishes Artisoks is the sheer range of activity packed into a single lakeside day: table tennis, karate, taekwondo, weightlifting, orienteering, beach volleyball, Mamanet, speedway, motocross, archery, water fights, video games, and basketball share the programme, alongside creative workshops and youth-organization activities

02

The mystery stays covered

That breadth means the festival functions less like a single-sport competition and more like a sampler of youth culture, letting attendees drift between disciplines rather than committing to one

03

The city starts moving

Its setting at the central beach of Big Stropu Lake, now hosting the festival for a second year, adds a relaxed, open-air backdrop to an otherwise intense multi-sport day

04

The water draws everyone in

As Daugavpils' largest youth festival, it draws young people from other Latvian cities and from abroad, giving it a regional pull beyond the host city
