A craft market of items made by folk craft masters hosted in Vērmanes Garden is a tradition dating back to the 2003 Song Festival.
This time, artisans and craftspeople who create modern design objects based on a traditional design heritage have been invited to take part.
A crucial aspect of the market is the program of concerts given by various folklore groups, folk theatre groups, ethnic minority ensembles, folk musicians and other groups on the Vērmane Garden stage.
