About This Event
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.
Our main hotel will be the Amway Grand at the center of downtown Grand Rapids, which will also host many events. Within walking distance, you will find the performance venues for the main choir and dance events.
We anticipate guests from across the United States, Canada as well as from Latvia, 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.
We hope to include participants and guests from Latvia, as well as others from the Latvian diaspora, to showcase the diversity of Latvia's regions and the strength of national traditions.
