23th of June is a Latvian national holiday Līgo (Ligo) aka Jāņi (Jani). Today people celebrate the summer solstice.
Usually it takes two days and one night. So all the people go to the countryside, closer to the lakes, rivers and the woods :)
One of the Ligo traditional things is a bonfire. Bonfire should be as big as possible :) But it conflicts to another Ligo tradition - jumping over fire :)
