On Thursday, 21 July, ATTA CENTRE opened the first ATTA Krasta Festival, which included a Street Food Festival and a Collectors' Market with unique offers.

Music journalist, radio and TV presenter DJ Toms Grēviņš, DJ Kārlis Zariņš, RADIO TRIO soloist Madara Dzintara and her band, and special guests Žoržs Siksna and Kristians Kalva, a Latvian trumpeter studying in the Netherlands, took care of the musical mood of the visitors.
Visitors could indulge their taste buds at Mi: Gelato, one of the best Israeli cuisine restaurants - 2EAT, at the Labietis brewery stand they could dive into unique combinations of ales flavours, indulge in an iced coffee at Royal Coffee, get to know authentic Mexican cuisine with real Mexican Javier Garcia, taste specialty burgers from ATTA CENTRE cuisine and sip delicious summer cocktails while watching one of the liveliest streets of Riga, Krasta Street.
The Invisible World Museum took part in the event, inviting visitors to discover everyday objects in an unusual way, using touch, hearing and smell. During the event, there was a tent where several blindfolded tasks were available to identify different smells, objects, nature's bounty and other surprises in the dark. The activities were led by blind people for whom living in the dark is a daily routine.
