Mikeldienas Gadatirgus Rezekne



On the past September 30th, we had the opportunity to experience a Latvian celebration here in Rezekne.
It was amazing to see the "Latgales iela" full of people and to be able to understand a little more about this rich and diverse culture. So many colors, so many dances, so many melodies. It was so great to see people of all ages in this event.

This event is connected with the autumn solstice and it is a celebration which represents the respect that we must have with our land/ground (that gives us so much). In this celebration, we can also see a typical Latvian market, where people bought products to prepare themselves for the cold season.
It was a very warm atmosphere with good music and happy people. 

Here are some photos of the event:

Hi I'm from Macedonia!

My name is Vaska Sarafiloska. I come from Ohrid, the most beautiful city in Macedonia. I am 26 years old. I am a journalist, so that is why I am interested in everything. Beside studying and working, I dedicated my whole life in saving stray dogs and cats and helping homeless people. Why I decided to volunteer in Latvia? I want to be part of the project named “Inspired Ambassadors of the Cultures“ that is happening here in Latvia because on one side is like part of my job, to discover other places, their way of life etc and on the other hand I think that is really important for us to learn a lot about different cultures and to accept them. Also, as I am a traveler, I have never been in this part of Europe so I am really excited for having the chance to live here for a year and to explore this part of Europe. I think I am ready to deal with the cold weather too. ☺ What I expect from the project? First, I want to introduce my country which is really beautiful, with lot of history, great

Why we love Rezekne? Are you tired of your work, obligation, and no fresh air? You need a vacation? Then you are ready to come to Rezekne. This is our conclusion about this beautiful Latvian city after 10 days spent here. By now, we are so happy for being here. We especially enjoy the relaxing atmosphere during morning coffee because it is so peaceful, quiet and fresh air is coming inside through the opened windows. When you walk down the Rezekne’s streets you feel like you are in heaven. Everything is so green, with lot of flowers and big trees. You can never get tired of walking here, because the traffic is well organized, paths for walking are big enough and people are not too loud. We like the nature here. There are no big shops and stores who will ruin the environment. In fact, you have everything you need and nothing is too much. We have visited few places, and we had a great day by the small lake where people are relaxing, kids are playing, running
