autumn festivals? why not!
This year's European Youth Capital is all about arts. If you are passing by, make sure to stop at the wonderful Festival of Art in Public Space Open City. Once again, Lublin will become an enormous art gallery packed with art installations, sculptures and performances by world-renowned artists.
Festivals are really taking over the city so don’t miss the Lublin Science Festival (18-24 September) either. Immerse yourself into "science for the future", to enter the world of knowledge, learn about the latest scientific and technological developments, explore the potential of artificial intelligence, and meet scholars and experts from diverse academic backgrounds. Let’s not forget that this year is dedicated to Nicolaus Copernicus and all the science legends around him. So? Are you ready to expand your boundaries of knowledge?
walk the city in European Youth Capital style
Lublin is taking steps towards a good cause. And you can too. Grab your friends and walk together the Pink Ribbon Walk. The more, the better, as the event aims to raise awareness of breast cancer and encourage regular breast check ups. Want to walk even more? The European Youth Capital promotes equality, mutual respect and respect towards the rights of others. That’s what the Equality Parade stands for. Psst... After the Parade, we invite you to the after party. Will you be there?
