June 19: Letts Celebrate Jāņi!
Let’s weave wreaths, make torches, and honour the Jāņi Father and Mother as we sing and playfully tease each other with both familiar and lesser-known Līgo melodies. We’ll savour cheese and beer and explore how the tradition of teasing songs helps keep relationships strong.
We’re inviting our extended family – last year’s TLPA guests, including lecturers, instructors, and musicians for this final gathering of the season.
Kristīne Steģe and Ingmārs Ozoliņš will lead the celebration, drawing on their three years of experience organizing Jāņi festivities rooted in Latvian folklore traditions at Saulaine.
In Latvian and English. Chef Ingo’s lunch. TLPA members: $25 | Guests: $30
Register for lunch by June 15 with Maruta Freimuts at 416-233-9552 or mfreimuts@gmail.com
