Lielais Latgaļu tirgus

Ludza, Latvia

Jun 21, 2026Expected

Each midsummer, the Latgalian town of Ludza holds a great market at its old castle mound, reviving the spirit of a medieval fair. Vendors from across Latgale sell folk crafts, foods, and textiles amid craft demonstrations and promenades, in a celebration of the agricultural and craft traditions of the Latgale region.

Media proof note

The Great Latgalian Market record is date-tracked, but stronger reviewed Field Guide media would make it easier to inspect.
