Celebrate the end of the fall harvest with the Latvian-Baltic version of Halloween at the Seattle Latvian Center. This event also serves as a fund-raising event for the Baltic Studies Program. Our Department will be represented by Professor Guntis Šmidchens, and by Professor and Chair, Jan Sjåvik. The Seattle Latvian Center is located at 11710 3rd Ave. N.E. and the festivities will begin at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday October 23rd.

Come in your best dress or disguise, indulge in the costume parade, the singing, the dancing and the games. There will be great food, beer, wine and soft drinks. Also, a silent auction will be held to support the Baltic Studies program or you can make a pledge or a donation. The music will be provided by the West Coast United Estonian Polka band.
