Liepāja residents know how to throw their own celebrations and parties!
Despite the fact that due to the national lockdown, the walk “Illuminated Liepāja” previously planned for this weekend was cancelled, we are glad that the residents of Liepāja answered the call and cheer together with their neighbours by illuminating their own houses and properties!
Just look at the (un)rest video in a building on Rīgas Street here
To create a brighter and happier mood among the residents of Liepāja during this dark and somber time, we invite other residents to light up their own houses and yards.
Every local company and residents are welcome to join this campaign by creating a light object on the facades, windows and doors of their buildings and properties.
Your flight of idea may be as creative and bold as you wish, free to choose colours, shapes and ways to decorate your homes or business buildings, taking into account this year’s concept of the Liepāja European Capital of Culture 2027 – the topic of (un)rest!
In 2027, not only will Liepāja hold the title of European Capital of Culture, but so too will the Portuguese city of Évora. To celebrate this cultural partnership, families attending the Sea Festival are invited to experience a performance by Évora-based puppeteer, creator, and researcher Manuel Costa Dias, titled “Puppets of My Life”.
As the sun reaches its zenith and ancient fires prepare to blaze once more, Liepāja – European Capital of Culture 2027 invites locals and guests to welcome the magic of the summer solstice with a celebration of Baltic and Nordic unity. On 23 June at 19:30, “Nordic Solstice” will unfold in Seaside Park and on the beach combining solstice traditions, nature rituals and music.
