On February 1st "Meteņi" Celebration

2025.01.20

On February 1st, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, we will celebrate the joyful seasonal festival Meteņi at the Kalnciems Quarter Market!

With colorful masks, we’ll play games as we wander from vendor to vendor, bid farewell to winter, and awaken spring together with the Teikas Muzikanti band. Honoring traditions, we’ll eat and drink heartily throughout the day to ensure a bountiful table for every celebration.

Dankumu Dārzi and Dzintra will bake warm pies overnight, while Tirgus Brālis, Pūku Priedītes, and Turaides Delikateses will offer delicious smoked meats. There will also be fish, cheeses, wines, and juices!

A special highlight of the day will be the stunning masks by artist Jevgeņija Kiļupe, inspired by animals living in Latvian forests and homes. These masks, crafted in the traditional papier-mâché technique, will be available for trying on and purchasing at the café and gallery.

Participation in all activities is free of charge.

Location: Kalnciema iela 35.
