The European Festival Awards (EFA) is an annual celebration recognizing the finest achievements and contributions within the European music festival industry. Established in 2009, the event highlights exceptional talent, innovation, and organization across a wide spectrum of festivals, from boutique events to large-scale productions. Categories include Best Major Festival, Best New Festival, and Best Line-up, among others, reflecting the diversity and creativity of Europe’s festival scene. Winners are selected through a combination of public voting and input from a jury of industry experts, ensuring a balance between popular appeal and professional acclaim.
The EFA gala ceremony, typically held in Groningen, Netherlands, coinciding with the Eurosonic Noorderslag music conference, is a glamorous event attended by festival organizers, artists, and industry leaders from across the continent. Beyond the awards, the event serves as a networking platform, fostering collaboration and sharing best practices in the festival industry. With its dedication to spotlighting sustainability, inclusivity, and cultural impact, the European Festival Awards continues to celebrate the evolving and vibrant festival landscape of Europe.
