On Tuesday, 19 May, the (un)rest programme of Liepāja – European Capital of Culture 2027 was presented to foreign ambassadors and international institutions in Latvia at the “Ola Foundation” cultural space, highlighting existing international cooperation and future partnership opportunities.

On 14–15 May 2026, representatives of the Liepāja 2027 Foundation took part in the ECoC Family Meeting in the Portuguese city of Évora, which will hold the title of European Capital of Culture alongside Liepāja in 2027. The meeting brought together representatives of former, current and future European Capitals of Culture, creating a space for the exchange of ideas and the development of new collaborations.

Particular attention among festival visitors this year was drawn to the launch of the Liepāja 2027 kite. Symbolically, it represented Liepāja’s journey towards its year as a European Capital of Culture, while also increasing the visibility of Liepāja 2027 in an international context.
