Brand the City
2026
CITIES AS BRANDS. CITIZENS AS VOICES.
BRAND THE CITY—Plovdiv’s first festival dedicated entirely to city design—opens a conversation about how design shapes the way cities communicate, distinguish themselves, and are collectively experienced.
The highlight of the festival is the international BRAND THE CITY Forum, taking place on 27 February 2026 at the Bishop’s Basilica of Philippopolis. Join us to connect with leading European design studios involved in developing visual identity systems for cities such as Amsterdam, Vienna, Leipzig, Porto and Prague.
Between 26 February and 1 March 2026, the city of Plovdiv becomes a shared stage, inviting everyone to engage with, understand, and co-shape its visual identity through art interventions, exhibitions, hands-on workshops, and community gatherings.
