Liepāja 2027

Congratulations to Nova Gorica and Gorizia on the opening of their European Capital of Culture year!

11. February, 2025

On February 7–8, 2025, the Liepāja 2027 team visited Nova Gorica in Slovenia and Gorizia in Italy – two cities that, under the motto “Go Borderless!”, are jointly implementing the European Capital of Culture 2025 programme this year.

During the opening events, Nova Gorica and Gorizia symbolically came together to embrace a world without borders, highlighting how culture can break down barriers and unite cities, people, and nations. This stands as a powerful testament to the strength of a shared European cultural space and the importance of collaboration.

Congratulations on the start of this remarkable journey! Thank you for the warm welcome and sparkling beginning – may this year be filled with art, creativity, and unforgettable moments of togetherness!
