Holiday Fair at The Latvian Society
As part of Philadelphia Latvian community, we are happy to participate in the Latvian Society’s annual Holiday Fair & Market. LRFA has proudly supported this historic Latvian organization for decades. 
2018 Baltic Boston Centennial
On November 18th, 2018, Latvians all over the world celebrated Latvia’s 100 years of independence. In the capital city of Riga, the celebration began on with a parade and laying of flowers at the Freedom Monument with participation of the President of Latvia and other important government officials. In the evening, after many concerts and performances, the celebration ended with magnificent fireworks over the Daugava River.
It is with honor and pride that we at LRFA celebrate this year with our sister Baltic countries, Estonia and Lithuania! As part of this year-long celebration, LRFA participated in the Baltic Boston Centennial Celebration.
2017 Latvian Song Festival in Baltimore, MD
In the summer of 2017, we enjoyed attending the XIV Latvian Song & Dance Festival in Baltimore, MD, over the fourth of July weekend. This was the first time in many years that the US festival was held on the East Coast and we loved seeing so many familiar faces from both near and far!
2015 Latvian Song Festival in San Jose, CA
In 2015, we attended the West Coast Latvian Song Festival in San Jose, CA and enjoyed the wonderful music and folk dance performances. These Latvian events are a unique opportunity make friends from all over the country (and even further). We welcomed new and old LRFA members with a special thank you gift and received many donations to our Scholarship Fund.
