The Latvian Song and Dance Festival is an important event in Latvian culture and social life. The All-Latvian Song and Dance Festival is held since 1873, normally every five years. During the festivals exhibitions of photography, art and folk craft also take place. Events and competitions leading up to the event occur throughout the period between festivals. Approximately 30,000 people all together participate in the event. [1] Although usually folksongs and classical choir songs are sung, recently modern popular songs were incorporated into the repertoire.
