Thursday was the Latvian independence day, and there were many events; numerous concerts, a flower laying ceremony at the freedom monument, a ceremonial parliament meeting, worship services and fireworks on the Daugava River!
(Unfortunately this is not a photo that I took- I found it online, but I like it because it includes the top of the freedom monument, which is a woman, holding 3 golden stars)
This weekend there is also something called StaroRiga, which is sort of an event where they have different kinds of lights/shows up all over the city. Some are sculptures that are lit, some are images projected onto buildings, not to mention all of the strings of lights in the trees and all of the other types of light related things. Below is a website that you can check out to see some of the lights of StaroRiga!
