About the Riga Christmas Market:
In 2000, the first Christmas Market took place in the heart of Old Town Riga, soon becoming a beloved holiday tradition for both Riga residents and visitors from afar. Over the years, the market has evolved into a messenger of festive spirit, bringing together fragrant treats, handcrafted goods, and the shimmering glow of Christmas tree decorations in the light of festive lamps, filling hearts with the miracle of Christmas. The Riga Christmas Market has been organized for 25 years by entrepreneur Andris Kreislers together with his team.
