As the day darkens, the city comes to life – blossoming into an array of bright lights. But what happens to the city lights when everyone has gone to bed and night sets in? What does the Light Family do in the dark hours of the night? Only from 14 to 18 November, light will come out to play in Old Town, holding a real party and revealing its secret life. Light marshals, daughter Spuldzīte, Light imps, Spuldzīte’s mother, Father Light and many other members of the family invite us to their unusual urban procession through Riga’s Old Town.
