Independence Day of the Republic of Latvia and the living fire “Path of Light”

On the anniversary of the proclamation of the Republic of Latvia, the longest living fire in Latvia, “Path of Light”, is lit in Jūrmala. A string of 12,500 candles, 20 kilometers long, illuminates the city’s central highways from Priedaine to Ķemeri and Jomas Street, creating an atmosphere full of warmth and unity.

In addition to the “Path of Light”, Lāčplēsis Day and National Holiday events are held in Jūrmala – concerts, religious ceremonies and torchlight processions. The festive program is filled with musical performances, patriotic activities and a festive mood that unites in a common celebration of Latvia.
