Last year the European Commission gave the go-ahead for Riga to become an official European Capital of Culture in 2014. This is will be an unprecedented opportunity for Riga and Latvia to showcase the best that they have to offer to the rest of the world. The year of 2014 promises to be a time filled with impressive events and new experiences for everyone. The nearby city of Sigulda will also host a number of events in connection with the year-long celebrations.
The French phrase - force majeure - is used to describe the programme of events in 2014. Force majeure promises to herald an extraordinary series of great happenings and be a major force to change the face of the city of Riga for years to come.
