Leuven, candidate European Cultural Capital 2030

A few years ago, Leuven was the first Flemish city to apply for the title of European Capital of Culture 2030.

Since then, the City of Leuven and the cultural sector have been developing numerous initiatives and projects that pave the way towards 2030 and beyond. Think for example of the landscape drawings, the large city festivals around Vesalius, Utopia, KNAL! and the large cultural infrastructure projects such as the performing arts site and the city hall.

What's next?

In 2030 a Belgian city will become the cultural capital of Europe. Leuven plus the East Brabant region is a candidate. If Leuven wins the title, 2030 will be an unforgettable year.
