Jauniesu Vasara Daugavpils in Daugavpils
Jauniesu Vasara, or Youth Summer, is Daugavpils' municipal youth programme run each summer by the city's Education, Youth and Sports Department. Organized across three phases at different locations around the city, it combines sports competitions, entertainment and youth-led initiatives for both seasoned athletes and newcomers. The 2026 edition promotes physical activity, social participation and creative expression, and invites young residents to volunteer in organizing the events themselves rather than only attending them.
Jauniesu Vasara, Latvian for Youth Summer, is Daugavpils' answer to a simple problem every city with a school calendar faces: what happens to young people's structured time once classes end for the summer.
