not boring → Riga

The last quarter of the year is here, which means it’s time to check in on all those goals, to-dos, and dreams. We’re officially on the home stretch, you could say 😜

Unspoken rules of living in society. Name yours 😜

Event not to miss this week #notsponsored Polling stations are here.

Happy Mark Rothko day. His art is known for large canvases filled with soft-edged, luminous blocks of color, stacked and hovering against a colored ground. He believed color and scale alone could carry the weight of tragedy, ecstasy, and everything in between.

Weekend in the city. Where to go?

Another good weekend and good vibes here in the city.

And we are back to arts and culture, then music, and arts and culture again. Fall is falling — hopefully not apart.

For years, restaurants have run on a simple script: guests are served, staff serve them. yolkhaüs is rewriting that script — not by changing what happens at the table, but by changing what happens behind it.

From major international premieres and local productions to documentaries, arthouse gems, short films, and cinematic classics — the city’s screens are packed with reasons to stay in. We’ve rounded up the festivals, premieres, and films worth knowing about this fall.

Something changes, something stays the same. New season, same weekly post — what to do this weekend?

September feels more like a New Year than the actual New Year ever does. We’re back in the city. And, conveniently, the city is back to us: theatre, cinema, weather made for layering, and a little bit of sadness. As for the last one — maybe this post will help. Cover photo: @villamorbergs

Let's enjoy the last weekend of the summer.

On International Dog Day, we want to shine a light on some good boys and girls who may not have made it onto your feed yet — but who are waiting for your attention, care, and, hopefully, a home 🐾 Whether you’re ready to welcome a new pet into your life, want to spend some time with a shelter dog, take them for a walk, or donate something they need — every little bit helps. Please adopt responsibly.

We have only two summer weekends left. Here goes the first one.

This summer, New Balance brings the ABZORB Collection to Ezera Skanas — a festival where music, art, architecture and nature come together in one of Latvia’s most unexpected settings.

Inspired by the visual language of 2000s running shoes, the collection reimagines performance heritage through futuristic silhouettes, sculptural shapes and signature ABZORB cushioning.

The collection is available at itk.

Weekend in the city. Where to go?

Writing the word “August” feels like a strong reminder not to miss a single moment of summer. Wishing the same for you.

A perfect summer tradition — open-air-if-there-is-no-rain movie nights at Zuzeum. Five Thursdays, five acclaimed films, and warm evenings under the open sky: → July 23: Mamma Mia! → July 30: Die My Love → August 6: Ferrari → August 13: Pearl → August 20: Eternity.

🎬 RIGA IFF has announced its 2026 theme: YOU ARE HERE — a reminder of presence and an invitation to be here and now.

Festival director Liene Treimane explains that the words "you are here" usually help us find our way — on airport signs, maps, transit cards. In the context of RIGA IFF, they take on a deeper meaning: a reminder of the most important starting point, the one from which any journey begins — including the cinema experience itself. Two hours in one room, next to a film and next to other viewers, with everyday noise set aside — cinema doesn't change where we are, it changes where we look at the world from.

First look at the programme and the first films are already revealed and limited number of festival "early bird" ticket bundles are now available.
