GO! Games

Games without Frontiers, Really

There is a border that, in Gorizia, has become a playground. The GO! Games revive the spirit of the legendary television "Games without Frontiers" and transform it into a day of challenges between the neighborhoods of Gorizia, Nova Gorica, and Šempeter-Vrtojba: three municipalities, two countries, one great community celebration. Born as a legacy of Gorizia and Nova Gorica European Capital of Culture 2025, the event is organized by the Municipality of Gorizia.

The Gorizia "Central Park"

The venue for the games is the Parco della Valletta del Corno, affectionately nicknamed the "Central Park" of Gorizia: a large green space in the heart of the city that for one day is filled with teams, gazebos, cheering, and joy. The neighborhood teams, recognizable by their colors, compete in skill tests, obstacle courses, and group games designed to involve people of all ages.

From Children to Adults

The day is divided into two parts. The morning is dedicated to the younger generation with the GO! Games School, featuring children from the schools of the three cities. The afternoon is for adults, with neighborhood competitions, a surprise treasure hunt, and even a fun challenge between the mayors, a true moment of spectacle and friendship between the communities.

A Legacy That Unites

The GO! Games are more than just a competition: they are a concrete way to keep alive every year the spirit of a unique city, divided for decades by a border and today united by games, sports, and collaboration between Italy and Slovenia.
