European Capital of Culture



Nova Gorica–Gorizia, European Capital of Culture 2025


Since its inception in 1985, over 40 cities have won the prestigious European Capital of Culture (ECoC) title. Forty years later, however, the border cities of Nova Gorica in Slovenia and Gorizia in Italy are the first ones to turn this annual celebration of culture into a genuinely cross-border endeavour. Based on these cities' specific political, cultural and geographical context, their 2025 ECoC programme explores the concept of borders from multiple dimensions under the slogan “Go! Borderless”.

The opening event From Station to Station will take place on the Slovenian cultural holiday on 8 February.

Days of Comedy was inaugurated by the Slovene People’s Theatre (SLG) Celje in 1992. Over the three decades of its existence, the festival rapidly outgrew its local context, evolving into the foremost event within the comedy genre in Slovenia. It showcases high-quality productions from both institutional and non-institutional Slovene theaters. Held annually in February, the festival's side program encompasses performances, concerts, and foreign productions.

Established in 2015, MENT Ljubljana is an international music showcase festival taking place at various Ljubljana venues in February. It is comprised of a series of music acts (fresh artists joined by established head-liners), a conference programme dealing with the intricacies of music businesses, and additional events such as exhibitions or workshops on new art and media technologies. Moreover, MENT is a year-long project intended to help Slovene musicians and music professionals with promotion and networking. To this end, MENT enlists and accompanies them to other showcase festivals.
