Latgales senioru dziesmu un deju svētku festivāls
Ludza, Latvia
Each year, a town in the Latgale region of eastern Latvia hosts a song and dance festival made for its older generations. Senior choirs and dance groups parade and perform together, keeping the region's folk songs and dances alive and passing their joy on to younger eyes.
Regional senior festivals help preserve folk traditions among the elder population. The event rotates among Latgale towns each year (previous hosts included Rēzekne and others). It emphasizes Latgalian-language songs and dances taught in local community centers. The competition-like atmosphere (choirs and folk dancers) reflects communal pride in cultural skills.
