To strengthen public participation in cultural life, support the delivery of a diverse events calendar, encourage international cooperation and exchange, and help people build new skills, the Liepāja 2027 Foundation is inviting to join its volunteer programme, “Mission (Un)rest”. Applications will be open from 8 to 28 September 2026.

On Saturday, 12 September, from 13.00 to 16.00, the Open Courtyard Festival will take place in the historic centre of Aizpute.

From 7 September to 12 October 2026, the people of Liepāja are invited to take part in a public vote choosing four values that represent their city. These values – a personality, a place, an event and a symbol – will shape the artistic storyline of “Human Forest”, the opening event of Liepāja – European Capital of Culture 2027.
