We are delighted to announce that Beat Bazaar, the organisation behind Góbéfest, has been shortlisted for the Manchester Cultural Welcome Award 2026.
For the past ten years, Góbéfest has welcomed performers, artists, volunteers and visitors from across the UK to celebrate the rich cultures of Central and Eastern Europe and beyond in the heart of Manchester. Being recognised for creating a welcoming, inclusive and friendly environment is a tremendous honour for our team and everyone who has supported the festival over the years.
This award celebrates organisations that help make Manchester a warm and welcoming place for audiences, visitors and participants, and we are incredibly proud to be among this year's finalists.
If you have attended Góbéfest, performed at the festival, volunteered, partnered with us, or simply enjoyed being part of our community, we would be grateful for your support.
