On this day Latvians celebrate the anniversary of the Proclamation of Independence of Latvia after the end of WWI
Proclamation Day of the Republic of Latvia, known locally as 'Latvijas Republikas proklamēšanas diena', or simply Lāčplēsis Day, is celebrated annually on 18 November. It marks the anniversary of the Proclamation of Independence of Latvia by the People’s Council of Latvia in 1918 following the end of German and Russian occupation in WWI. The jubilant ceremony took place in the building that today houses the National Theatre in Riga.
Every year on Lāčplēsis Day Latvians honour their heroes by placing lit candles in the windows of their homes or at the November 11 Embankment in Riga, named after the historic victory over the Bermondt army. Other traditional activities involve a Torchlight Procession though Old Riga, the honorary change of guard at the Freedom Monument, oecumenical services in the churches throughout Latvia as well as reenactment of freedom battles across the country.
A popular modern tradition established in 2009, is for people all over the world to sing the Latvian national anthem at the same time (21:00 EET).
