We are going to be the planning and delivery partner for Liverpool European Festival again in 2026.

The events in 2025, which brought the EU Ambassadors,Cultural Attaches and Trade Councillors to Liverpool for Europe Day on 9th May, were a huge success. Kudos goes to the diaspora communities we’ve been working with: the Albanian community, the Greek, Italian, German Polish and Rumanian communities to name just a few. Fors us, it was an honour and great opportunity to help showcase Liverpool and its diverse European communities on an international stage.

LEF launched on 8th May and everyone could take part in the festivities at the free community launch event at Bombed Out Church on 10th May. The festival programme carried on with events planned and delivered by the communities for the remainder of May and during all of June.

The planning for LEF 2026 is underway. Feel free to take a peek and read about 2025 on www.liverpooleuropeanfestival.co.uk
