In the holiday museum, the masters from all Latvia were gathered at the weekend.

On 4 and 5 June, the Latvian Etnography Museum of Etnography held the 1946 th anniversary of the Latvian businessmen, bringing together craftsmen from around Latvia. This is one of the most important and most ambitious events in Latvia's cultural life, which is visited by several tens of thousands of museum visitors from both Latvia and abroad.
Latgale masters also participated in the fair – podiers, pints, weavers, etc., a large demand was for Latgale's culinary heritage, including Smakovka. For the first time, tourist specialists participated in the fair with their stalls to introduce visitors to tourism opportunities in Latvia's municipality. As the head of the Rēzekne District Tourism Information Centre Ligita Harčevska said, the interest in tourism offers in Latgale, including the Rēzekne municipality, was very large, as the stakeholders were mostly people who had already planned to go to Latgale during the summer trip. A major interest was in the “secret of Luban Lake” tourism stock, which takes place in Latgale and Vidzeme in the vicinity of Luban Lake from May to October.
Although the fee for the trading venue in the fair had risen triple this year, as the craftsmen acknowledged, the lack of buyers could not be complained, only occasionally the defects in the organisational area, including problems with transport.
