A festival called 'Rakstivāls' took place in Līgatne on Sunday, bringing together language and writing enthusiasts of all ages. The event is designed as a meeting point for anyone with an affinity for the Latvian written word.
On Sunday, August 9, the town of Līgatne hosted a festival called 'Rakstivāls,' bringing together writers, readers and other active users of the Latvian language.
The festival describes itself as a place, space and moment in time meant for anyone for whom writing and language matter. Organizers note that the event serves different purposes depending on participants' age and interests.
Something for every generation
For children, 'Rakstivāls' offers a chance to improve their writing skills. For families, it is an opportunity to spend a Sunday together, while writers get to meet one another. Young people, meanwhile, have the chance to connect with others who share a fondness for the written Latvian language.
In this way, the festival brings together several generations and interests in one place, creating a space where both those still learning the language and those who work with it professionally can meet.
