If you want to step away from bonfires, songs, and barbecue smoke during the Midsummer week, Aigars Bumburs, a representative of the jury for the Latvian public media annual award 'Kilograms of Culture', suggests three cultural stops outside the usual holiday routes.

The first is a Latvian artwork located in a toilet in Norway — an unusual setting that blends art with everyday life. The second is a fashion history exhibition in Antwerp, offering insights into the evolution of fashion. The third is a display of next summer's fashion trends in Milan and Paris.

These recommendations are intended for those seeking cultural experiences beyond traditional Midsummer celebrations, and they come from a jury member who annually evaluates various cultural events.
