This tradition enables us to have a new look at the values that make up common cultural heritage of the Baltic nations, and the fact that we would not be the ones who we are now without each other. During the grand concert tonight, we will experience the flow of entire year, noticing every season in the sounds of folk music and dancing steps: summer games, autumn harvest, the white winter in order to arrive at spring friskiness and at summer again.
Nature needs all seasons, and every participant of Festival Baltica is needed for it to sound around!
I invite everyone to open your hope chests and be proud of your folk richness in everyday life. You exactly are an example for every true carer of national traditions and culture.
That nation, which takes care of and protects multigenerational inherited values, ensures survival, sustainable development, and secure heritage for the future of its land!
Let Latgale sing and sound tonight!
God bless Latvia, God bless Latgale!
