Unreal Reality
This night shattered all laws of reality, becoming a celebration that cannot be imagined. From May 31st to June 2nd, 2024, we organized a season opening that became an event with no equals. A New Year’s celebration that rewrote all the rules and fantasies that could ever exist. Only a few will understand what we truly accomplished. We chose dates that only coincide a few times per century. The Latvian Caravan Club, with its uncompromising creativity, set the stage for a celebration that will remain in memory forever.

The Countdown Begins
The evening of May 31st was imbued with magic. When all the participants gathered, the campers transformed into real palaces of celebration, adorned with lights, garlands, and every possible decoration. The aromas of traditional New Year treats filled the air, and laughter and joy filled the evening. The atmosphere was incredible: everyone felt like they had stepped into a world where ordinariness had no place. The costumes? They were nothing short of unimaginable. Each club member showed maximum imagination, from classic New Year attire to completely extravagant outfits—everything was perfect and matched the theme of the celebration.
But the brightest moment of the first evening was the appearance of a grand, beautifully decorated Christmas tree, which stood in the center of our gathering area. It shimmered with hundreds of lights, and its green branches seemed almost magical under the glow of the garlands. And right next to the tree appeared the true New Year’s figures—Father Frost and Snow Maiden, who had come especially for us. They had gifts for all the children, and they organized a true celebration for them, with dances around the tree and fun games. Snow Maiden even danced with both the children and adults, filling the air with happiness and joy. Just like at a real New Year celebration—everyone felt that sense of wonder.
When the clock struck midnight, we did it: the New Year was celebrated like never before. The club president’s speech, recorded back in winter, was broadcast on the screen, and its words seemed to echo from the depths of time, reminding us that the future had already arrived. Then, when the moment came, we showed short videos sent by club members during the real New Year’s night, unaware of the surprise we had prepared for all the guests. And the surprise was grand: a fireworks display of such magnitude and beauty that history, perhaps, had never seen before. An astonishing sight to the sound of the Latvian national anthem, which filled the space before we started dancing until the morning.
















The Game of the Year
The next morning, after a hearty breakfast, it was time for the most anticipated game of the day—paintball. Players were divided into teams: children with children, adults with adults. The game became something much more than just a competition. It was an experience that allowed everyone to feel something new, a rush of excitement that couldn’t be compared to anything else. In the end, there were no losers, because everyone went through moments that would stay with them forever.





Lunch: A Culinary Masterpiece
After the intense games, everyone gathered for lunch, and we were treated to a true culinary masterpiece. Meat with vegetables—but don’t let the simplicity of the dish’s name deceive you. The taste was such that all our senses played to new notes. It was clear that this meal became not just part of the day but the climax of everything happening, a flavor that wouldn’t be forgotten.




Circus
For the children, the next part of the day was a circus show featuring acrobats and animals, which made everyone forget about everything else. For the adults, there was a caricaturist who drew everyone present, capturing the essence of each with his pencil and humor.
After such a busy day, it was time to relax. The sauna, of course, was an essential part of the celebration. It was like a ritual—after all the excitement, to unwind in the hot steam.


















The Disco of the Century
But the night was far from over. In the evening, we had a disco with the best DJ in the country, whose name had long been synonymous with quality sound and nonstop dancing. It wasn’t just fun—it was magic that didn’t let us go until the morning.





The Morning After
On Sunday morning, we all looked like heroes who had survived a truly grand celebration. But by morning, it was clear that the season opening was just the beginning. Ahead of us was an entire season filled with incredible events and meetings. And perhaps we will remember this New Year as the symbol of everything to come.
Epilogue: Summer Ahead
When the morning light began to pierce the sky, we realized that every moment of this celebration became not just a memory, but an important part of our journey. We were waiting for Līgo, knowing that summer would truly be special. And everyone gathered with thoughts of the future, full of amazing events and new encounters.
