On Saturday, 6 June, the Brisbane Latvian Hall was buzzing with the laughter, warm conversations, JÄÅi songs, music, games, and dancing of more than 100 attendees. A true Midsummer spirit filled the hall, creating a joyful and festive atmosphere throughout the afternoon! Attendees happily wove colourful flower garlands (vainags), enjoyed traditional JÄÅi cheese and beer, savoured a delicious lunch, and tried their luck in the raffle. The dance hall echoed with the energetic footsteps of enthusiastic JÄÅi dancers. There was no shortage of smiles, laughter, and good cheer as we came together to celebrate the lead-up to JÄÅi sharing our rich traditions of Latviaās Midsummer festivities! š¼š¶š»
