The story

Jurmala Festival in Jurmala

Jūrmala Festival is the umbrella name for the seaside resort city's dense summer festival calendar, spanning events like the Jomas Street Festival, Kauguri Festival and Jūrmala Running Festival across the town's beach parks and its pedestrian Jomas Street. Held throughout the warm months in Latvia's most popular coastal getaway, it brings live music, markets, sport and open-air family programming to the pine-lined resort town on the Gulf of Riga.

Jūrmala has been Latvia's favored seaside escape since the nineteenth century, when Riga's wealthier residents began building wooden villas along a 33-kilometre stretch of white sand dunes and pine forest on the Gulf of Riga, a short ride from the capital.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What sets the Jūrmala Festival brand apart is its setting: a 33-kilometre string of beaches, pine forest and wooden Art Nouveau villas just outside Riga, long favored by Latvians and Baltic neighbors as a summer escape

02

The mystery stays covered

Rather than one fixed programme, the name covers a rolling calendar of city events, the Jomas Street Festival along the resort's main pedestrian promenade, the Kauguri Festival in its northern neighborhood, and the Jūrmala Running Festival drawing athletes to the coastline, plus Midsummer celebrations at Melluži

03

The city starts moving

That density of events packed into a compact seaside town, all reachable on foot or by a short train ride from Riga, is what makes a summer visit worthwhile
