This September, we roll into the Baltics once again for our third and final Weekend stop of the year. The Festival Weekend Riga 2026 runs from 10-13 September, bringing you for days of Hold’em and PLO tournament poker, a casino game tournament, cash games, and more! The Olympic Voodoo Casino in Riga will be hosting our event, that is also our debut in Latvia!
We stay true to the Weekend format, so expect a tight, action-packed schedule, built for players who want maximum action without a marathon commitment. There is really no limit to our Hold’em, and in Riga you can expect fireworks when it comes to this popular poker format. But also Pot Limit Omaha will be all over the place, including a Dealer’s Choice format with only Omaha variants. Besides all the poker events, we will also be hosting a Blackjack tournament!
If you are chasing the Main Event run of your dreams, or just looking for a fun weekend of cards with friends, and the great vibe of The Festival, Riga’s stop promises the same Festival energy that’s made our series a great fixture on the European calendar.
Doesn’t matter if you’re chasing a Main Event run or just looking for a fun weekend of cards with friends, Riga’s stop promises the same festival energy that’s made the series a fixture on the European live poker circuit.

Where to Stay: Radisson Blu Latvija Conference & Spa Hotel
For players heading to Riga with us, we’re pleased to offer a dedicated hotel rate at one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks: the Radisson Blu Latvija Conference & Spa Hotel.
Standing 90 metres tall, the hotel is impossible to miss on the Riga skyline and sits right in the city centre, within easy walking distance of the Old Town, the Freedom Monument, and Riga’s charming Art Nouveau streets, meaning you’re never far from the tables or the sights. With 571 rooms and suites, it comfortably hosts everything from solo players to full crews arriving for the weekend.
A few reasons players keep coming back to this hotel:
- Unbeatable location – steps from Vecrīga (Old Town) and the historic city centre, and within the same building as the Olympic Voodoo Casino.
- ESPA Riga – one of the largest five-star day spas in the Baltics, spread across six floors with an 18-metre pool, saunas, steam rooms, and a fitness studio if you need to unwind between sessions.
- Esplanade Restaurant – a well-regarded breakfast buffet to fuel you up before a long day at the tables.
- Skyline Bar – perched on the 26th floor, offering panoramic views over Riga’s Old Town, a great spot to decompress after a session.
