We Invite You to Support the Latvian Festival of Song and Dance
The Festival plays a pivotal role in sustaining and enhancing Latvian traditions in music, dance and culture in Canada. They are a celebration of Latvian culture in Canada with guests and participants from around the world.
Putting on a Festival is an expensive proposition! Expenses include:
- Hall rentals, advertising, insurance and admin expenses.
- Sound and lighting equipment, decorations.
- Thanking our amateur participants for their years of work with a meal at rehearsal and a few souvenirs.
- Small honorariums for composers and choreographers who created works for this festival and some professional artists.
Ticket sales cover roughly 75% of expenses. We rely on the financial support of our sponsors and our donors. We invite you to support the Festival!
