Valmiera is hosting the 11th Valmiera Summer Theater Festival, a three-day event featuring more than ten performances in unexpected places, including a former meat factory and a schoolyard.

Valmiera has once again become the theater capital this week, as the 11th Valmiera Summer Theater Festival takes place. The event lasts three days, and organizers invite audiences to exchange their usual theater seats for unusual places around the city.
This year’s program includes more than ten performances. According to the organizers, the shows will be staged in the former production buildings of a meat factory and in a schoolyard. These locations allow visitors to enjoy theater in a different setting than a traditional auditorium.
The Valmiera Summer Theater Festival is held for the 11th time, and during the three days the city once again turns into a center of theater art. Audiences have the opportunity to discover both new productions and unusual city spaces that serve as stages for the event. The festival’s format offers a fresh perspective on how theater can be experienced.
With more than ten shows, the festival presents a varied program for anyone who wants to enjoy theater outside conventional venues. Each performance is held at a specially selected location, creating a distinct atmosphere and allowing residents and guests to see Valmiera in a new light.
