GO! Games

GO! Games, cross-border neighbourhood games between the municipalities of Gorizia, Nova Gorica and Šempeter-Vrtojba.

The second edition of the cross-border neighbourhood games will see as many as 13 teams representing as many neighbourhoods of the municipalities of Gorizia, Nova Gorica and Šempeter-Vrtojba take to the field on Saturday 17 May at Baiamonti Park, in Piazza San Rocco.

Culture will remain central to the event, thanks above all to the Treasure Hunt, but many novelties will characterise the appointment, which in full GO! 2025 spirit will be even more fun and engaging.

In fact, the morning will feature about a hundred Italian and Slovenian children, aged 10-11, who will compete in the exciting GO! Games School, in collaboration with the Gorizia school board and the corresponding Slovenian organisation.

The initiative is conceived and organised by the Municipality of Gorizia, in collaboration with the GECT GO and the Municipalities of Nova Gorica and Šempeter-Vrtojba.
