Daugavpils city will celebrate its 751st anniversary with a diverse cultural and entertainment programme. The City Festival, held under the motto “Daugava unites. Daugavpils celebrates”, will take place from June 5 to 7.
Throughout the festival, Daugavpils will transform into a vibrant hub of cultural, artistic and recreational events, offering something for every visitor — from concerts and creative workshops to sports activities, exhibitions and family‑friendly programmes.
As part of the celebrations, the traditional parade and festive fireworks show will also take place. This year, the fireworks will be accompanied by a light-and-music performance, uniting the artists and groups performing on the main stage at Unity Square. The festival’s musical programme includes:
- Friday, June 5 — Intars Busulis with „Abonementa Orķestris” and the band „Bermudu Divstūris”.
- Saturday, June 6 — rock musician Miks Galvanovskis, the internationally recognised „Bon Jovi” tribute band „New Jersey – Bon Jovi Tribute”, and the band „A‑Europa”.
On the first day of the festival, the main stage at Unity Square will open with a concert featuring the winners of the young talent competition. This will be a special opportunity to hear the laureates of the Latvian Regional Children’s and Youth Vocal Competition “Ceļā uz Lielo skatuvi”, who will perform together with the professional orchestras of the Daugavpils City Municipal Institution „Vienības nams”.
As the organisers of the City Festival note, “The festival highlights the city’s diversity, creativity, and sense of unity. This year’s programme also emphasises the idea of togetherness, as shared festive moments strengthen the bonds between people, cultures, and generations.”
The organisers invite everyone to join the celebrations and help create an unforgettable atmosphere in Daugavpils.

The Daugavpils City Festival is organised by the Daugavpils City Municipality and its municipal institutions.
