- I enjoyed Dziesmu Svetki. Kudos to everyone who made the Hamilton fest a success. Going back to work on Monday will be a downer.6:41 PM Jul 5th from web
- Lots of performers from Latvia, some from Irija. Unlike previous DzSv they were an integral part of DzSv and a key to its success.6:39 PM Jul 5th from web
- Everyone knows that DzSv are a time to reconnect but I ran into more people I haven't met in many years than any other Dz Sv.6:35 PM Jul 5th from web
- The choir and Ceirulitis at the folk dance spectacle was an added bonus. Dancing and almost a concert. Two for one deal.6:34 PM Jul 5th from web
- Lighting at Folk dancing was a bit off, the floor empty at times. I would have put those waiting to dance at ends instead of out of sight.6:33 PM Jul 5th from web
- Folk dance spectacle was a lively way to end DzSv.6:28 PM Jul 5th from web
- Go up John and the Jolly Cut. Then hang a right to Mountain View Park. Great view of Hamilton down below. Toronto 60km across the lake.5:08 PM Jul 4th from web
- I have to say that Hamilton beats Toronto for a DzSv location. As the organizers said, everything is close and the parking is cheap.5:04 PM Jul 4th from web
- The choirs from Latvia wanted to keep singing after the concert. Like they do in Latvia. Song can't be contained in 4 walls to a schedule.5:03 PM Jul 4th from web
- Would have liked to stand during Put vejin instead of Tev muzam dzivot. A song that was our unofficial anthem can never be just a folk song.5:02 PM Jul 4th from web
- Swaying of the choir to Put vejini evoked words of Marju Lauristan in film Singing Revolution - Waves, a human sea that couldn't be stopped.4:59 PM Jul 4th from web
- My favourite choiral piece was Neba maize pate naca. The one where the women's choir from Riga was swaying. The impromtu en core at the end.4:50 PM Jul 4th from web
- Kopkora koncerts - Pleasant but traditional with many familiar works. Got a bit too melancholy. Latvians have a bit too much pathos.4:41 PM Jul 4th from web
- The Song Fest. It's all about volunteers who make it happen and keep the tradition going - participants & organizers alike. Thank you.9:49 PM Jul 3rd from web
- There are less than 2 million Latvians in the world but for a small nation its artists, choirs, athletes pack a powerful punch.9:48 PM Jul 3rd from web
- Great concert for two choirs from Latvia at the Anglican cathedral. Wouldn't take much to imagine that you were in the Dom Church in Riga.9:47 PM Jul 3rd from web
- Dziesmu Svetkos - Latvieši te, latvieši tur, no arzemem, no Latvijas, no Irijas ... Meklesim kopejo, to kas vieno - Dziesma un deja.5:54 AM Jul 2nd from web
- Great to run into latviesi from Edmonton, Winnipeg, Halifax, Michigan, Florida, Minnesota, not to mention Latvija and locals at Sidrabene.8:46 PM Jul 1st from web
- I saw them back in 2000 at Brivdabas muzejs in Riga and today at Sidrabene. They're as great as ever. Ceirulitis from Livani rocks!8:44 PM Jul 1st from web
- Saules svetki at Sidrabene was great! Wouldn't mind shifting DzSv to Sidrabene and spending the next four days there.8:42 PM Jul 1st from web
