Mazirbe (Template:Langx or Script error: No such module "Lang"., Template:Langx) is a village place in Kolka Parish, Talsi Municipality, Latvia 18 km southwest of Kolka. It is one of twelve Livonian villages on Script error: No such module "Lang". - the Livonian Coast. Mazirbe is the cultural capital of the Livonians.
The flag of the Livonians has flown over the Livonian House of the People (Template:Langx or Script error: No such module "Lang"., Template:Langx), a cultural centre dating from 1938, built in the heart of the village with the support of linguistic cousins in Hungary, Finland and Estonia. Inside is a small museum showing photos of past generations of Livonians. On the first Sunday of August there is a Livonian gathering here, culminating in a procession to the beach where a wreath is cast into the sea in remembrance of fishermen who have met watery deaths. A camp for young people where only Livonian is spoken is held for a week beforehand. The Mazirbe plague stone is a unique feature of the village.
The name of the village in both Livonian and Latvian translates to 'Small Irbe/Irā', as opposed to Lielirbe or 'Great Irbe/Irā'.
