Riga Taste Festival

Riga is a city that truly celebrates food, and during the Rīgas Garšas svētki: restorānu un konditoreju nedēļa it comes alive with flavor and creativity. From 13.04.2026 - 26.04.2026.

This week-long event invites locals and visitors to explore the city’s vibrant dining scene through specially curated menus, innovative desserts, and memorable culinary experiences.

Top restaurants offer tasting menus at accessible prices, giving guests a chance to enjoy fine dining while chefs showcase their creativity by blending Latvian traditions with modern techniques. Each dish tells a story, reflecting both personal style and the country’s rich food culture.

The festival also highlights pastry art, with bakeries and dessert makers presenting signature cakes, limited-edition sweets, and refined creations. From classic layered desserts to modern designs, every bite reflects craftsmanship and attention to detail.

More than just a food event, it’s a way to discover Riga itself — exploring different restaurants and cafés becomes a journey through diverse atmospheres and tastes. It’s the perfect opportunity to try new places, revisit favorites, and enjoy time with others.

With the arrival of spring, Riga slowly transitions into a more active outdoor lifestyle. One of the best ways to kick off the season is by joining the “Elektrum Energetic Training Sessions”, part of the Rimi Riga Marathon preparation program.

The training sessions take place every Sunday in Mežaparks, with meeting point at the big stage (Lielā estrāde area). Sessions typically start at 10:00, bringing together participants of all fitness levels – from beginners to experienced runners.

But what does this have to do with camping and yachting?

At camping&yachts, we see these training sessions as more than just running. They represent the mindset of an active outdoor lifestyle – something that connects runners, campers, and boating enthusiasts alike.

From running trails to coastal routes

Training in Mežaparks offers a perfect natural environment – forest trails, fresh air, and open space. It closely reflects the kind of experiences people seek when going camping or spending time near the sea with a boat.

These sessions help build endurance and physical readiness for longer outdoor adventures, whether it’s a weekend sailing trip or a camping journey.

Participants are divided into pace groups and guided by experienced coaches, making the training accessible and structured for everyone.

When and where?

Location: Mežaparks, near the Grand Stage (Lielā estrāde), Riga
Time: Every Sunday in March and April
Start: 10:00

The sessions are free of charge and open to anyone interested in enjoying outdoor activity.
