On the occasion of the Slovenian Culture Day on Thursday 8 February 2024, the countdown to 8 February 2025, the opening date of the year of the European Capital of Culture, will begin with #borderless events in Nova Gorica and Gorica. The GO! 2025 partners will open their doors to the public and present the projects currently in preparation that will shine in the spotlight of the Capital of Culture next year.

Appointments designed for various targets and interests, in a mix of Slovene, Italian or bilingual language initiatives, just like the daily exchanges of the inhabitants in the two 'twin' cities. Many spaces in Nova Gorica are involved, including Bevkog Trg, XCenter, Goriški muzej and the Slovene National Theatre. Among the previews of the Official GO! 2025 Programme, the dance performance to be held at 7.30 p.m. by the MN Dance Company, a new international dance troupe curated by Michal Rynia and Nastja Bremec Rynia, should be mentioned first.

The bus will depart from Trg Evrope/Transalpina Square on Thursday 8 at 10 a.m. and at 2.30 p.m. More information: BUS GO! EXPLORE
