Mežaparks is one of the most beautiful, greenest, and prestigious neighborhoods in Riga, as well as a popular recreational area.

Recreation Park

In 1949, the spacious cultural and recreational park "Mežaparks" was opened, which is one of Riga's environmental landmarks. Throughout the creation and existence of the park, one of the few compact forest areas in Riga has been deliberately preserved.

Enjoy Culture!

The Great Stage of the Song Festival is located in Mežaparks, which every four years becomes the home of one of the most significant events in cultural life – the Song Festival. Concerts by local and international artists also take place at the stage.
The Green Theater in Mežaparks hosts concerts and theater performances.
In the event meadow near the Song Festival stage, large-scale public events are held, such as Easter celebrations, summer season opening events, Healthy Lifestyle Day, Forest Day activities, and more.
Check out the 3D drawings on the asphalt! Viewing the drawings from specific points makes them appear three-dimensional and "alive."
