Bored in Riga?

No need! The whole year round there are activities in Riga which you can engage in.
This is illustrated by the sign I read today near the bus stop of janvāra iela.

Whilst some of these festivities already have passed, some are still to come! Also, it can be used as an indicator of what events might likely return for next year.

An overview from this year (2012) can be found below.

In between the dates listed there is enough to do in Riga as well, simply check one of the numerous tourists guides. If being a tourist is not your cup of tea, then you can always still become a member of a community such as Couchsurfing (www.couchsurfing.com). I signed up for the Couchsurfing Latvia group on Facebook myself. After having joined one meeting I got to know some new faces and
 enjoyed a little chat with the people behind those faces. You can also choose to be a host for other Couchsurfers, e.g. showinga random stranger around the city. Who knows what interesting experiences he/she might be able to share with you?!
