Since 1988 the three Baltic nations have joined together each year to celebrate their folk heritage with the International Folklore Festival Baltica. Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia take it in turns to host the festival. In 2009 it returns to Latvia.
The three Baltic communities welcome folk groups from around the world for a week of food, film, dance and music, complete with workshops in regional dancing.
Keep an eye on the CIOFF website for further details, as well as the forthcoming Baltica festivals in Estonia (2010) and Lithuania (2011).
