Spring Equinox in Jūrkalne

Do you want to go out into nature with your friends and family to welcome spring? Jūrkalne in Ventspils County invites both locals and guests to join.

March 21 – the day when light triumphs over darkness!

The spring equinox marks the moment when the day becomes longer than the night, nature awakens to new life, and it's the perfect time to draw energy from the sun and the power of the earth. We invite everyone to join these tradition-rich celebrations in Jūrkalne, where we will collectively honor the return of the sun.

In the morning – sunrise greeting on the cliff

At 6:35 AM, we will gather on the cliffs of Jūrkalne, where, following ancient customs, we will greet the rising sun with songs and rituals.

In the evening – spring equinox celebration at Vējturi House.

At 5:30 PM, we will celebrate spring together at Vējturi House with swinging, egg painting and rolling, various games, plays, and other activities.

Sunset farewell at the sea. Before the sun goes to rest, we will head to the sea to bid it farewell and conclude the day together.
