During the weekend from 19 to 21 December and throughout the Christmas period, the Riga Christmas Market will delight visitors not only with handmade goods by Latvian home producers and craftsmen, but also with a rich and diverse cultural programme. Performances on the market stage will include choir, folklore groups, Elizabete Gaile, Katrīna Dimanta, Annija Putniņa, Mikus Frišfelds, Bad Habits, and other artists. Children will have the opportunity to meet Santa Claus in his little house in Dome Square, enjoy a carousel ride, and meet the Christmas elves.
