Latvian Independence Day and the “Path of Light”

On the evening of Latvia’s National Day, Jūrmala is illuminated by the country’s longest path of living candlelight – thousands of candles forming a continuous line from Priedaine to Ķemeri and along Jomas Street. Concerts and commemorative events accompany this powerful symbol of unity, remembrance and national identity, highlighting the historical significance of Latvia’s statehood.
