Quote of the Week

"Even before Europe was united in an economic level or was conceived at the level of economic interests and trade, it was culture that united all the countries of Europe. The arts, literature, music are the connecting link of Europe."

Dario Fo

Member Festivals

More than 100 international performing arts festivals from 38 countries invite you to explore their offerings and participate in their mission to build bridges of knowledge between the world and society, and bridges of mutual understanding between different individuals and communities, between different countries, regions and continents.

By changing the Statutes in 1997, EFA opened the way to develop into a representative umbrella-organisation of European festivals.
