XVI Latvian Song & Dance Festival

The XVI Latvian Song and Dance Festival organizing committee will host the festival in Grand Rapids, Michigan in July of 2026. The festival will span five days and we expect about 4,000 guests and participants. The event will include choir concerts, dance, gatherings, art, and other cultural events that showcase our Latvian traditions.

Guests from across the United States, Canada as well as from Latvia, will be in attendance to enrich our performances and cultural connections! The main choir will consist of approximately 500 singers, while the dance troupe count is expected to be near 750 dancers. A special spiritual choir performance is planned in one of Grand Rapids' oldest churches. You can also expect a theater performance, art exhibits, balls, fraternity and sorority gatherings, and opportunities to connect with friends - old and new.
