The city celebrated its 760th birthday with the motto “Color Jelgava!” The celebration also honored golden and diamond wedding couples, recognized students for achievements in academic competitions and Olympiads, and presented the city’s highest awards. The highlight was a record-breaking city parade, where we demonstrated our unity, colorfulness and belonging to the city. This year, the parade drew over 17,000 participants, stretching more than 8,000 meters through the city.
Throughout the festive weekend, residents enjoyed concerts, sports activities, theatre performances, and a wide variety of entertainment. Two unique events stood out: a sunrise concert on the Lielupe River on Saturday morning, and, for the first time ever, guests could experience the “Jelgava 760” pop-up restaurant on the main street of Lielā iela.
Take a look back through our photo gallery to see how colorful, joyful, and full of emotion the Jelgava City Festival truly was.
Thank you to everyone who made the celebration possible — the organizers, participants, and all our wonderful visitors.
We are creative, colorful, versatile, united and proud of our city, marking Jelgava in truly bright colors these days. Together, we have once again proven – we are Jelgava!
