New Year Celebration in Riga

4 Days / 1 location in Latvia

New Years in Riga is beautiful and exhilarating, and 2016 New Year’s Eve definitely brings some additional magic. With a great number of traditional, magnificent architecture, churches, splendid New Year decorations, markets, inspiring music and delicious food and drinks, Riga will make your 2016 NYE unforgettable, no matter whether it’s a pre- or post-NYE time.

As traditional, residents of Riga will ring in the New Year 2016 at the Freedom Monument and Dome Square. Thousands of Latvian residents will gather by the Freedom Monument to watch the 2016 New Year’s fireworks show. It will be a joyous atmosphere. Afterwards, special New Year’s parties, concerts, balls and carnivals will be held all throughout the city.

Riga is often snowy during New Year’s Eve, so pack your boots and best coat if you plan to brave the night to watch the NYE fireworks display at midnight.
