About Baltic song and dance celebrations
The Baltic song and dance celebrations, also known as the Baltic song festivals (Estonian: laulupidu, Latvian: dziesmu svētki, Lithuanian: dainų šventė), form a transnational tradition of mass amateur choral, dance, instrumental and folk-art celebrations in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. They are not one synchronised Baltic-wide festival: each country maintains a separate national series with its own numbering, programme and calendar. The principal national celebrations are normally held every five years in Estonia and Latvia and every four years in Lithuania.
