For several days, dancers, musicians, singers and flag wavers from across Europe fill your streets and stages. They'll put your city on the map of European culture.
Participants and visitors from more than 20 European countries discover your city's uniqueness and share their story back home.
Having up to 6,000 visitors in your town will give the local economy a real boost: for shops, cafés, restaurants and businesses, as well as for tourism.
Europeade celebrates folk traditions in all their variety. Your city becomes a stage for living European culture.
Our team handles registrations, scheduling, and group coordination, so that you can focus on your city's hospitality.

The best way to make this happen is to put the idea to your mayor or the local cultural office, get them excited about it and persuade them to organise a Europeade. If there is genuine interest, please let us know via info@europeade.eu and put us in touch!
The International Europeade Committee is an independent, non-profit organisation dedicated to celebrating Europe's living folk traditions. The annual celebration, Europeade, is held each summer in a different European city. Since our first festival in 1964, we have brought thousands of dancers, musicians, and communities together to share their dances, music, songs and traditions in peace and friendship.
We work with host cities as partners, not just venues. Our team provides full organisational support so that your community can focus on what matters most: welcoming Europe.
