Cultura Nova is an international arts festival held annually in Heerlen, in the Netherlands, toward the end of August. Organised by Stichting Cultura Nova, the festival brings ten days of performances and cultural events to distinctive locations across the city. Its programme spans theatre, dance, music, film and visual art, with an emphasis on innovative, boundary-pushing productions from the Netherlands and abroad.

By taking art into public spaces, Cultura Nova creates opportunities for audiences to encounter creative work beyond conventional venues. The festival also reaches across the Parkstad municipalities, offering visitors a broad regional programme. Through its website, Cultura Nova shares programme and visitor information, including details about accessibility, accommodation and transport.

Audiences can find ticket information through PLT, while the organisation also invites people to volunteer, become friends of the festival, explore sponsorship opportunities or support its work in other ways. Cultura Nova publishes festival news and imagery, and provides resources for professionals and the press
