One of the most popular
festivals among Latvians and tourists "Staro Rīga" (Beaming Riga)
will run under the theme "City Stories"with lots of artwork on
display all over the city.
The festival of light
"Staro Rīga" is a several-day exhibition of outdoor installations,
used to transform Riga's panorama using modern light and video technology. The
festival is continuously growing: the first year featured 27 artworks, but last
year saw 75 large-scale installations!
This year the festival
will present around a hundred outdoor installations using any type of city
object – buildings, squares, bridges, streets, monuments, etc. The play of
light will make the autumn drabness disappear, and will open up a completely
different view of the city.

On the bill are
competitions, permanent and temporary installations, outdoor advertising
billboards, an international programme and more. Every author will present his
own story about the city: emotional, passionless, instructive, humorous,
bizarre, interesting or provocative.Featuring a tense plot, unusual development
and an unexpected ending, the story tells about the city, an urban settlement,
a virtual, real or unreal formation.
This is all about Riga
celebrating its 810th birthday this year.
Medestino.com welcomes
everyone to visit historical Riga this Novemebr and to experience the
incredible light performances!
