Festival (from Latin festivus 'festive, solemn or cheerful') usually refers to an event lasting several days at which artists perform and present artistic productions. In German-speaking countries, such events in the field of high culture, especially classical music and theatre, are also called festivals.
Festivals can be linked to artistic competitions of their genre or have a competitive character themselves.
Especially at music festivals the compilation of all performing musicians or music groups to an overall program is often named with the Anglicism line-up.
