Helga! Festival Award
About
Helga! Festival Award has been presented as part of the Reeperbahn Festival since 2013 and honors the best national festivals of the year.
Every year, a high-level, multi-member jury of experts honours the hottest, most creative, funniest and most flowery festivals in the nation in five different categories. All festival fans are also asked to be part of the jury and can vote for their favorite festival every year in the public voting.
We are also delighted about our ongoing partnerships with HÖME - ‘Home of Festival Culture’ and LiveKomm, LiveMusikKommission - Verband der Musikspielstätten in Deutschland e.V., which support us as media, communication and expertise partners.
Public Voting - Best Festival
Which festival will be voted the ‘Best Festival’ of 2025 by festival fans? The second round of public voting is now open!
The first phase of public voting has ended and now the second phase begins, in which the top 5 festivals are determined and the exciting selection phase for the winners of the ‘Best Festival’ begins. To ensure that everyone – big and small – has a fair chance, the votes per festival will be evaluated in relation to the size of the festival and in relation to all votes cast. The winners will then be presented at the Helga! Award Show on 18 September at Knust.

We are giving away 2 x 2 two-day festival tickets among all votes!
