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” 2025 by festival fans? The public voting is now open for your suggestions!

The first phase of the public voting will run until the end of August and then the second phase will start, in which the top 5 festivals will be determined and the exciting selection phase for the winners of the “Best Festival” will begin. To ensure that everyone - big and small - has a fair chance, the votes per festival will be evaluated in proportion to the size of the festival and in proportion to all votes cast. The winners will then be announced at the Helga! Award Show on September 18 at the Knust.
