Opening of the Finno-Ugric Capital of Culture in Narva

On March 1st, Narva was officially declared the Finno-Ugric Capital of Culture for 2025.

The opening day began with a ceremonial parade through the city — from Ingeri House to Narva Town Hall, where a symbolic handover of the title and emblem took place.
The following day, a church service was held at the Alexander Cathedral in the languages of various Finno-Ugric peoples.
