Helga! Af­ter­show Re­cep­ti­on

The Helga! Festival Award has been presented as part of the Reeperbahn Festival since 2013 and is one of the most prestigious awards on the German festival scene.

Same same, but different 2026:
For the first time, the Helga! is being organised in collaboration with associations, institutions and networks from the festival industry. For each award category, mentors provide expert guidance and contribute their diverse perspectives and expertise to the selection process. In this way, the Helga! reflects the diversity and innovative spirit of the German festival scene more strongly than ever before.

Following the awards ceremony, we warmly invite you to the official Helga! Aftershow Reception. Join the award winners, industry representatives and festival organisers to raise a glass to a special evening full of encounters, inspiration and a shared passion for festivals.
