On 9 May, Europe Day will be celebrated across the Land of (un)rest, establishing a tradition that marks our connection to Europe. Through discussions, masterclasses, community activities, food, and other cultural experiences, participants will come together to shape their own European story while fostering engagement in multicultural neighbourhoods.

Each year, European Day activities will be all about (un)rest as a European Capital of Culture and a stage for celebrations inspired by the European Union. By involving non-governmental organisations and local communities, the events will explore Liepāja’s and the region’s role within the EU, reflecting on both realised and untapped opportunities, and encouraging dialogue, civic participation, and shared cultural understanding.

The goal is to establish a new tradition of jointly celebrating Europe Day, empowering citizens to take action and feel more connected to the European community fostering a continuous conversation about our role in shaping the future of Europe.

Organised by Liepāja 2027 in collaboration with NGOs and local communities.
