Okay, so I wanted to figure out where all the cool international arts festivals are happening in 2025. It’s something I’ve been meaning to do for ages, finally got around to it!
Started with a Basic Search
First, I just did a simple search. You know, typed in “international arts festivals 2025” and saw what popped up.
Narrowing It Down
The first search gave me way too much stuff. So, I got a bit more specific.
- I thought about what kind of festivals I’m really into. For me, it’s theatre, music, and visual arts.
- Then I refined searches. Instead of just “arts festivals,” I tried things like “international theatre festivals 2025,” “music festivals Europe 2025,” and “visual arts festivals Asia 2025.” This helped a lot.
Checking Out Specific Festival Websites
When I found some festivals that looked interesting, I went straight to their official websites. This is super important because:
- Dates are confirmed: Many places list festivals way in advance, but the dates might not be 100% set. The festival’s own site is the most reliable source.
- Program Details: You get the full scoop on who’s performing, what artworks are being shown, all that good stuff.
- Ticket Information: How to buy tickets, when they go on sale, and, of course, how much they cost.
Making a Spreadsheet
I started a spreadsheet to keep track of everything. I’m a visual person, so this helps me a ton. My columns were:
- Festival Name
- Location
- Dates
- Type of Art (so I could easily see if it was theatre, music, etc.)
- Website
- Notes (Anything that stood out, like “Need to book flights early” or “Looks expensive”)
Dealing with the Overwhelm!
Honestly, there are SO many festivals out there. It’s easy to get overwhelmed. My trick is to focus on a few that really excite me, rather than trying to research every single one.
I find my way to find the international arts festivals in 2025, hope you can also find yours!
