One of the highlights of the Capital of Culture Region 2025 is clearly the PURPLE PATH – an art and sculpture trail that connects a total of 38 cities and municipalities. The official opening of the PURPLE PATH in Chemnitz and the Capital of Culture Region will take place from 11 to 13 April 2025. Various activities and events await you around the locations of the artworks. Further information about the programme of events on the opening weekend can be found on the Chemnitz2025 website.
