A forum to celebrate 40 years of European Capital of Culture in 2025 will be held on April 4 in Chemnitz, a European Capital of Culture along with Nova Gorica-Gorizia. At the moment the schedule is not yet known, but it will surely be announced in the coming days.

The first "cross-border" European capital of culture opened in Nova Gorica and Gorizia, on the border between Slovenia and Italy, in the presence of the highest officials of the two states.

"Even in Raissa, the unhappy city, there is an invisible thread that connects one living being to another for a moment and then unravels, stretching again between moving points and drawing new rapid figures, so that every second the unhappy city contains a happy city that does not even know it exists".

C the Unseen is the motto of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025, which will open on Saturday, 18 January 2025 with an all-day programme. Tens of thousands of people are expected in the city centre. They will show that Chemnitz is a cosmopolitan and diverse city. Chemnitz 2025 offers an eleven-month celebration of European togetherness starting this weekend. 

 When the cultural capital cities of Bodø, Tartu and Salzkammergut were to create something together, the result was: "Village Party": A playful exploration of village party stereotypes.
