With the sincere opening and closing rituals of the event, valuable and professional counselling and masterpieces, relaxing and healing piracy, beauty and massage procedures, educational creative workshops, a sauna mastery competition, a sauna dress fashion view, a variety of performances of various artists, fire shows and other bright moments, the first pirate festival in Latgale, whose goals were the harmonization of the body and spirit, as well as the combination of different peoples, the combination of different cultures, the pooling through the sauna and health rituals, because the pirate is not a language barrier, is spoken in another, in its own language. The cultural programme was also rich, encouraging visitors not only by sauna and body lutting procedures, but also giving pleasure to their eyes and ears.
On Friday afternoon, when most of the pirates and masters were already present, there was time to celebrate the event. Both the masters and the attendants of the event gathered at the People's House, and, of course, the stage artists. In a solemn walk in the songs of the song, the participants of the festival together went to the Liga Mountain, where a ritual of four stiches – land, fire, water and air coupling – was held under the direction of the most famous drug wife, sauna and storyteller of Latvia, followed by an official festival fire burn, whose main idea was to maintain the entire festival time until its conclusion on Sunday. The rituals were followed by a concert, which included both Ozolaines parish folklore “Zealand” and theatre – “Joriks” studio “Lazorevij cvetok” and Ukrainian ensemble “Vodograj”, as well as solistes Amanda Mileika and Margarita Proveja, who performed Latvian peoples in the version of Amanda Mileika and Margarita Proveja. After the official discovery, the masters went to their jobs, but visitors were able to go shopping in the craftsmen's trade, visit the ranking horses, visit the pirate lectures, the sauna's impressions, and the League of League, to explore the herbs of Latvia, the wild pharmacy, the green recipes, and other wonderful things about plants growing around us. On the other hand, everyone was invited to gather again at Līga Mountain, where a concert of the musical vocal association “ores” was held in the background of a wonderful, gorgeous sunset. But after the concert, all the men gathered were invited to take places around the fire in a friendly window to continue the evening with singing around the fire. The singing was led by BOTH Griškānu parish gypsy song “Charger” and the folklore set “Zealand”, both the famous Lithuanian sauna Vladas Jokubauska and the guitarianist master and solicitor Victor Zaharov, while the others liked to sing with songs that were particularly familiar and hearty. There were songs in different languages, and from different cultures, in the background of sunset and in the flame of fire, creating a truly magical atmosphere. But when the sun was stung and the sky was black, the sky streamed through the air, symbolizing the flames of the fire.
July 22 was a central festival day that started at 5:03 morning with sunrise and morning wake-up ritual of the famous Aglona pirate Anita Reshchenko. Various and varied lectures, seminars and masters were held throughout the day – the festival's special guest – the pirate, the book about the sauna author Ivan Ivain, was led by lectures for both the pirate and the first professional professionals.

The pirates and all the masters who participated in the festival gave the real oak trees to bring themselves, planting, copying and cultivating a memorial from the event and as compensation for the nature of the greens taken by the pirates in the preparation of the piracy. During the final ceremony, everyone was offered a “free microphone” so that they could share their emotions, impressions, suggestions. But at the end of the event, the participants came to the building of the flower carpet, creating and dressing in flowers and grass, the contours of the countries whose masters were represented at this festival.
