About Latvia Beer Festival

One of the largest beer festivals in the Baltics is your chance to sample over 200 types of beer.

You’ll discover many local and regional brews, European favourites and exceptional craft beers worldwide.

Locals and tourists flock to this lively festival, which takes place in the centre of the beautiful city of Riga.

It started in 2012 and has become a fixture in the city’s event calendar.

Latvia Beer Festival Opening Ceremony

Each year a different brewery has bestowed the honour of making the beer for the opening ceremony.

This year “Cesu Alus” is the brewery in the spotlight.

An award-winning brewery, and one of Latvia’s most respected beverage companies, it is known for being environmentally friendly and socially responsible.

They promise to treat festival-goers with a unique brew made from a combination of special and secret ingredients.

Once the barrel has been rolled out and opened, the festival is considered officially open!

Latvia Beer Festival Venue

Riga is home to many beautiful parks, and the festival location, Vermanes Garden, is the oldest public garden and one of the most attractive.

In this gorgeous setting, there are brewery tents, music stages and sports competitions.

Take a blanket to spread out on the lawn to enjoy your beer sampling and the many food delicacies on offer.

More About Riga

Gothic spires and Art Nouveau architecture combine to create a panoramic skyline.

Riga has more Art Nouveau buildings than any other European city.

Managing to be both traditional and hip, Riga has a vibrant energy that inspires all who spend time here.

Its Central Market is one of the largest in Europe, so leave yourself plenty of time to wander and explore this treasure trove of delectable eats.
