CESIS FLOWER FESTIVAL

Cesis is increasingly trying to lure more tourists to the city. The latest effort was the Flower Festival. Flowers are definitely in bloom here and some of the creations are unbelievable.

Since the city is 802 years old, they also take any opportunity to highlight the castle and its historical importance.

Here are a few pictures from the most recent festival:
