The Forum of Worldwide Music Festivals (FWMF) is a network of festivals focusing on global music and local cultures. We cherish urban grooves and traditional expressions, we care for creation and for collective musical heritage.

The main focus of the FWMF is artistic. We are a member-driven network that loves to exchange music, collaborate on inspiring projects and join forces with exciting new initiatives. We share artists, work together as equals worldwide and are not afraid of artistic risks. Interaction and collaboration between our members are our core activities, but the FWMF also seeks to facilitate links to other festivals and networks.

The network has over 50 members, representing a wide variety of music festivals. The diversity of these festivals equals this of world music: from a small scale thematic bagpipe-festival in Italy to an eclectic mega-festival of 500.00 visitors in Morocco. From Oslo/Norway to Belo Horizonte/Brazil, from Santiago/Cape Verde to Ljubljana/Slovenia: we reach over 3 million people every year, and are inviting hundreds of artists to celebrations all year round.

Membership is for all festival organizers with a worldwide approach, presenting music in the area of world, ethnic, traditional, folk and roots music.

The current board is:

Danka Van Dodewaard - The Netherlands
Bogdan Benigar - Slovenia
Jaana-Maria Jukkara - Finland
Patrick De Groote - Belgium
Petra Hradilova - Czech Republic
