Riga as many other European cities has a tradition of events organisation with participation of DJs. In each particular bar such days are chosen individually, however, the most popular days are Friday and Saturday. Sometimes parties also take place on Thursday, Sunday or even Wednesday. Everything depends on the season and organiser’s policy. A musical style differs from place to place too. It is also influenced by a DJ’ s taste who plays music.

It is possible to get to techno, reggae, or house parties in Riga. Those who like other music styles will most probably be able to listen to them as well. Usually, the concept of a place dictates the music style, which a DJ will play. More thematically specific parties, such as techno or house more often take place in clubs, not in bars. But here is a list of bars, where it is possible to order some drinks, to listen to a DJ, and to dance. Please, check the websites of the places or look at the ads at the entrance to bars (they usually announce a program slightly in advance)!
