The story behind it
Country Bauska reflects the town’s embrace of country and folk culture. Initially started by local musician Uldis Ozoliņš, it has grown into a multi-day festival with camping, contests, and accompaniment of folk dances. It fosters community and inter-generational bonds, including a free concert in the town center, outdoor camping and a special “Country Express” bus for attendees from Riga.
