What awaits you at EXPO 2027?
93 days. 4 million+ visitors. Unlimited inspiration.
From 15 May to 15 August 2027, Belgrade transforms into the heart of the world, welcoming over 4 million visitors to explore how play can move humanity forward.
Under the theme Play for Humanity – Sport and Music for All, EXPO 2027 offers a powerful, playful, and purpose-driven programme that addresses some of the biggest challenges of our time.
What happens when we bring people together through music, movement, creativity, dialogue and innovation? We ignite change.
This is not just a programme. It’s an invitation to experience what the future could feel like.
Why EXPO 2027 Programme Matters
Today’s world is facing a series of interconnected crises
A decline in mental and physical health
A loss of social cohesion and belonging
Outdated and unequal systems of education
Technology that often undermines human values
A global sense of permacrisis and burnout
Fragile and unsustainable economic models

EXPO 2027 offers a response:
A place where people, ideas and cultures come together to explore how play – in all its forms – can help us build a more resilient, united and joyful world.
Thematic Framework
The entire programme is shaped by one powerful idea: Play for Humanity – Sport and Music for All
To make this theme tangible, we’ve structured the content into three subthemes, each explored through a curated series of events and experiences.
These subthemes will guide the flow of activities and events during the thematic weeks of EXPO 2027, making each visit dynamic, surprising, and deeply meaningful.
