The way Latvians celebrate summer solstice has not changed a lot in the last hundred years. With one BIG exception. It no longer has the element of surprise… in a form of an ambush in the darkness. Yes, you read it correctly. This time of the year was when Latvians used to attack each other in the street for fun.
