During the last weekend of November, Daugavpils will begin the countdown to Christmas. On Saturday, the first candle will be lit on the city’s Advent wreath, while on Sunday the main Christmas tree in Vienības Square will light up. Everyone is welcome to join the festive celebrations!
On 28 November at 4 pm, the first candle will be lit on the large Advent wreath in the square near St. Peter’s in Chains Roman Catholic Church, at the intersection of Rīgas and Cietokšņa Streets. The ceremony will be accompanied by a performance of the women’s choir “Rūta”. Their songs will create a peaceful and joyful atmosphere as the city prepares for Christmas.
The celebrations will continue on 29 November at 5 pm in Vienības Square, where the city’s main Christmas tree will be illuminated. The programme will feature performances by young singers from the “Pērlītes” vocal studio, who will join the city’s residents in welcoming the festive season.
