Wer im Frühling durch Sigulda, Jūrmala oder das Zentrum von Riga geht, merkt es bald — leuchtende A2-Plakate an Anschlagtafeln, gläsernen Straßenbahn-Häuschen, Museumseingängen. Konzerttermine, Schloss-Gartenfeste, Sommersaison-Eröffnungen, Sonnenwendfeiern. Die Hälfte davon findet man nie auf TripAdvisor. Also haben wir angefangen, sie zu fotografieren. Das hier ist eine laufend gepflegte, handverlesene Liste dessen, was wir gesehen haben, mit den Originalplakaten darunter (sie wächst, sobald neue Plakate auftauchen).
So nutzt du diese Seite: Tippe auf ein Plakat, um es in einer Lightbox zu vergrößern — viele enthalten QR-Codes, die direkt zur Ticketseite führen. Wir aktualisieren die Liste, wenn wir an etwas Neuem vorbeigehen. Heute: 1. Mai 2026.
