Bauska is one of the country's fishing capitals, and on April 20, the right bank of the Mūsa River (Krasta Street, near Bauska Stadium) will host the seventh "Vimba Festival." This annual event unites participants of the Goodwill Fishing Contest, nature lovers, and this year—Easter celebrators from all over Latvia and abroad!
The festival’s slogan, "It's good to be in nature!", encourages visitors not only to enjoy nature’s abundance but also to learn how to use its resources sustainably. Through educational activities, hands-on workshops, and insights from experienced experts, we will explore how to be respectful guests on nature trails, near water bodies, and beyond—while discovering simple habits that help us become better friends to nature.
