The ABR Festival has been named Event of the Year for the second year running, meaning both 2024 and 2025 are officially award-winning events.
Recognised by the PPA, the judges highlighted the depth of engagement across a rich programme and how strongly the festival brings its community together. Not that long ago, this felt like a pretty ambitious goal, and it’s one that simply wouldn’t have been possible without the people, partners and supporters who help bring ABR to life. So, thank you.
What we love most about this award is that it’s not just about scale or spectacle, it’s about community, shared experience, and creating something people feel part of. That’s always been at the heart of ABR, and it’s a big part of how we approach every event at Adventurize too.
And we’re not slowing down.
ABR Festival 2026 is already shaping up to be our biggest year yet. Ticket sales are ahead of 2025 already, we’re launching the Adventure Travel Basecamp (an event within the event), welcoming bigger names, more bands, more activities, and building what’s set to be the strongest programme yet.
This award is a reminder of what’s possible with an exceptional team.
If you’d like to talk about how we build award-winning events, engaged audiences, or experiences that genuinely connect people, we’d love to chat.
