On Friday 9 May, communities across Liepāja, Kuldīga and the South Kurzeme region joined in creativity and conversation, as Europe Day was celebrated with a rich and varied programme organised by “Liepāja – European Capital of Culture 2027.”

On May 4 at 12:00, in the spirit of the Day of Restoration of Independence of the Republic of Latvia, the Ziemupe Breakfast and the Opening of the Song Chest will take place in the centre of Ziemupe.

On Friday, May 2, from 13:00 to 17:00, Aizpute’s historical centre on Jāņa Street will come alive with the very first Old Town Festival. This new tradition embraces sustainable living and invites both local residents and visitors from nearby areas to take part in a vibrant and engaging celebration.

The first round of the “Liepāja 2027” Community Programme has wrapped up, bringing support to 12 different projects. Launched in collaboration with Foundation “Fonds Initium” and backed by the Ministry of Culture and the British Council Representation in Latvia.

At the heart of the market, the “Liepāja 2027” stand offered visitors seed packets in red and white tones, encouraging them to start their spring planting in the anniversary month.

From March to May, a series of events will offer opportunities for residents to actively shape their surroundings, strengthening both community ties and civic pride.
