Culture
Latvia's cultural life bristles with the old and the new, the traditional and modern, the classical and the avante garde. Latvians idolize their artists, composers, writers and performers, and regularly fill stadiums, concert halls and theatres to enjoy a wide variety of cultural events. In Latvia today local, European and global cultural influences continue to bring new surprises - from the 2003 Eurovision Song Contest to the hundred year old tradition of the massive Latvian Song and Dance festivals.
