We Were There. That's the Difference.
Some travel guides tell you about Europe's festivals and events. We've actually been to them.
events.europa.tips is built by the writers and editors behind europa.tips, a multilingual European travel platform that has been publishing first-hand destination guides for years. Over that time, our team has attended hundreds of events across the continent: open-air concerts in Vienna, carnival processions in Venice, Christmas markets in Cologne, wine harvests in Burgundy, jazz festivals in Montreux, and street food fairs tucked into medieval squares that most visitors never find.
That accumulated experience is exactly what you'll find on this site.
What We Do
We cover European events with the kind of detail that actually helps you plan: not just the dates and the ticket link, but what the atmosphere is really like, which days are worth the crowds, where to eat nearby, how early to arrive, and what to skip. We update our guides as events evolve season to season, because a festival that was unmissable three years ago can look very different today.
Our coverage spans music and arts festivals, cultural celebrations, seasonal markets, food and drink events, local traditions, and major public gatherings across all corners of Europe. Whether you're planning a trip around a single headline event or looking for something to do on a specific weekend, we aim to give you enough real information to make the right call.
Who We Are
We are a small, tight-knit team of writers who have been traveling and writing about Europe for a long time. We don't write from press releases. We write from notebooks, memory, and genuine curiosity about the places and people behind these events. Several of us have attended the same festivals multiple times over the years, which means our guides reflect not just one visit but a real understanding of how an event changes and grows.
We are based across Europe and publish in English and German, because we believe good event information should reach as many travelers as possible in the language they actually think in.
Why This Site Exists
Good event information in Europe is surprisingly hard to find in one place. Official sites are often incomplete, outdated, or written for locals who already know the context. We started events.europa.tips because we wanted a resource we ourselves would actually use: honest, current, detailed, and written by people who genuinely enjoy being in the middle of it all.
We hope it helps you find something worth going to.
