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? Both rounds of public voting are now closed!

The top 5 festivals have been determined:

  • Ancient Trance Festival
  • Burnings Pants
  • Hütte Rockt
  • Open Flair Festival
  • Reload Festival

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.
