Traditional autumn feast - Mikeli - is held every year at the Town Hall Square in Old Riga. Carrots, pumpkins and zucchini are proclaimed the kings during this colourful harvest celebration.
Originated from a small fishermen village, for centuries Riga has been an important part of the trade chain between Russia and Western Europe. A lively crossroad of cultures and backgrounds for over 800 years, the historical centre of Riga has accumulated an impressive cultural baggage and today is justly included in the UNESCO’s World Heritage list.
