The Foundation “Liepāja 2027” warmly invites everyone to join the Europe Day Garden Festival “A European Dream in Our Backyard” on Friday, 9 May, designed to give residents of Liepāja, Kuldīga, and South Kurzeme regions the chance to explore European values, discuss cultural and social development, and get actively involved in greening their towns.<\/p>
On 9 May, from 16:00 to 18:00, Europe Day will also be in full swing in Kuldīga. A cheerful spring gathering will take place at the Kuldīga Central Library (1905. gada iela 6), featuring a picnic, lively conversations, music, and creative fun.<\/p>
During the festivities, the Liepāja 2027 European Capital of Culture bench will be unveiled, and the rally of sails for Kuldīga will take centre stage.<\/p>
“Building on last year’s Europe Day campaign, we want to strengthen the sense of belonging to both our local community and to Europe as a whole,” shares Inta Šoriņa, Chair of the Board of Liepāja 2027. “The sails symbolise the united journey of the Land of (un)rest — Liepāja, South Kurzeme, and Kuldīga — as we head towards our European Capital of Culture year. This campaign is a chance for everyone, regardless of age or background, to join a larger, shared project, express their identity through art, and feel part of something truly special. These sails reflect our diversity, creativity, and unity — they’re like the flags of our Land of (un)rest, flying high on the way to 2027.”<\/p>
From 24 April, white sails will be available for collecting at the Kuldīga Central Library (1905. gada iela 6), and other regional libraries.<\/p>
Details will be posted on the municipal and library websites.<\/p>
If you wish your painted sail to be part of this colourful display, please bring it to the Kuldīga Central Library by 8 May. After the event, you’ll be able to take your sail back home.<\/p>
