City Fiesta

Closing Weekend

City fiesta

The year of culture in Trenčín is reaching its grand finale. Join us from 27–29 November for City Fiesta, the closing weekend of the European Capital of Culture. Celebrate with us the title that has transformed Trenčín.

And since City Fiesta falls at the beginning of Advent, Trenčín will also come alive with Christmas markets, adding to the unique atmosphere of the closing weekend.

Come and enjoy City Fiesta, 27–29 November!
