In honor of the centenary of the Latvian Ethnographic Open Air Museum this year. On May 11th, opening the summer season, the museum's homesteads will come alive in the event "One day in our home". In more than thirty museum places, people will bring alive ethnography in clothes appropriate to the era and will do works specific to the specific place and time. It will be a journey in time, 100-200 years into the past.

Visitors to the museum will have the opportunity to experience marriages, moving to a new house and flea market, as well as meet a miller, get acquainted with a schoolmaster and a pastor. Fishermen will prepare for fishing, elsewhere the potter's family will go to the market, in one farm the landlady will invite you to join in the garden work, in another a trader will have wandered in. There will be May chants at the Latgale crucifix and an improvized service in Usma lutheran Church. The potters, the weaver, the craftsman of spinning carts are working. Boats will be tarred, fish will be smoked. Above all, there will be folk songs, games and dances, and each homestead will have a special task for the children.

Simultaneously, around 850 members of amateur theaters and folklore ensembles from all cultural and historical regions will work on the territory of the museum, who will also involve visitors in the events of their homesteads. On this day, not only the central entrance and the West gate, but also the Bergu gate (70A Bergu Street) will be open to visitors.
