Two hundred people gathered at Nordale Pagalms in Riga, Latvia on October 11 to celebrate the autumn season around a six-metre-long apple pie.

Invego, the developer of Nordale Pagalms, collaborated with chef Raimonds Zommers and restaurant Entresol to create the pie as a centerpiece for a community event. Guests enjoyed seasonal activities like apple croquet and tasting, alongside offerings from local businesses including KAST coffee and SALDS ice cream.

The event also concluded a recipe competition where the winner received a EUR 500 catering allowance to host a private event at Nordale Pagalms. Invego designed Nordale Pagalms, located near Biķernieki forest, to be a public courtyard inspired by Copenhagen’s spaces for informal gatherings and seasonal celebrations. Kristjan-Thor Vähi, Founder and CEO of Invego, stated the company aims to build environments that connect people, and the event demonstrated the success of that vision.
