Negli anni sovietici, dal 1966 fino all'indipendenza del paese, in Lettonia l'8 marzo era festa ufficiale. Si festeggiava donando ad ogni donna un tulipano rosso, per questo era la giornata del tulipano rosso.Nella Lettonia indipendente solo nel 2007, dopo anni di resistance, the parliament approved an amendment to the law establishing the holidays, taking on 8 March as International Women's Day.
In Latvia, 2011 March 8 is celebrated by one in five women, because of the economic crisis and the difficult financial situation of many families.
Riga Mayor UĊĦakov has used more than 14 000 lats (about € 20,000) to celebrate the March 8, in various parts of the city putting up giant posters of greetings to the women of Riga
