Latvian Caravan Club is opening the season for the fourth time, and with each year it becomes more than just a gathering. Last year we welcomed 86 crews. This year, we are once again bringing together a large international meeting — warm in atmosphere, vibrant in character, and real in its emotions.

People come here as families, couples, with friends and children — not only for отдых, but for a special theme that has become a signature part of our events: transformation, costumes, mood, and the feeling of stepping into another world for a few days.

Cosplay — the Heart of This Gathering

Each year, our meeting has a new theme, and in 2026 the Opening Season will take place as a Cosplay Edition. This is not just about costumes for photos — it’s about an atmosphere where people arrive already in character, meet each other in a new way, and become heroes from childhood, movies, series, or their own imagination.

---

This year’s highlight — a parade of countries and a costume defilé on Saturday before the opening.
This is something new: participants carrying their national flags will walk together in costume, followed by the ceremonial raising of the Latvian Caravan Club flag and the official start of the gathering.

---

This is the moment when characters come alive — when you not only transform yourself, but also find yourself surrounded by dozens of heroes from movies, comics, and your own memories.
