Liepāja 2027 Youth Participate in the Mad Liepāja Festival
17. August, 2025
On 16 August 2025, Liepāja 2027 youth filled the Mad Liepāja festival with their energy, creativity, and ideas.
At the Liepāja 2027 booth, a vibrant atmosphere prevailed – conversations, sharing of experiences, and enthusiasm vividly demonstrated the strength and potential of young people in Liepāja. Visitors had the opportunity to try their luck at the wheel of fortune, capture memorable moments in the photo booth, and most importantly – meet members of the Youth Programme, learn about their experiences, and discover how they themselves will soon be able to join this story.
The scale and energetic spirit of the festival only reinforced the sense that Liepāja truly is the Youth Capital – a place to meet, collaborate, and generate new ideas.
We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who visited our booth – your interest and questions provided even more strength and inspiration.
A reminder – starting from September 2025, applications for the Liepāja 2027 Youth Programme will open. This will be the moment to join the team where the voices, ideas, and actions of young people shape the cultural story of Liepāja and all of Europe.
