The story behind it
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.
