Namur in the running to become European Capital of Culture in 2030!

Namur’s bid for the title of European Capital of Culture has been selected as one of the three finalists (along with Molenbeek and Leuven)! This is the result of many months of intense work by the Namur 2030 team, led by Commissioner Laura Latour, and by the entire region.

This second round is the first act of a successful gamble: that of showing that Namur can take its place on the map of Europe and is the ideal city to become an incredible laboratory at the heart of Europe.

From this evening, a new stage begins. All the forces of Namur and the bid area will be able to step up the momentum and involve our cultural, political, economic and social players and, more broadly, the local residents, with the aim of involving more than 5,000 Namurians in the co-creation of the project that will be developed throughout the Namur region.
