Cultural life and traditional festivals in the Baltic states are thrilling with their artistic richness, live traditions and spiritual depth. Baltic folklore, unique arts and crafts and handmade articles are the magical gems of the three Baltic nations. They are like a living code which keeps alive the spirit of the nations through the centuries and ensures continuity into the future.

Although all the Baltic states are Christian countries, pagan festivals have been celebrated trough centuries and are still alive today. The most emotional and with fascinating traditions filled celebration is summer solstice or Midsummer Festival. 

An unique occasion is the Great Song and Dance Celebration, which takes place every five years in Latvia and Estonia and every four years in Lithuania and they are one of the largest amateur folkloric choral and dance events in the world, included in UNESCO as - a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
