The Bayreuth Festival is a music festival held annually in Bayreuth, Germany, at which performances of stage works by the 19th-century German composer Richard Wagner are presented. Wagner himself conceived and promoted the idea of a special festival to showcase his own works, in particular his monumental cycle [[Der Ring des Nibelungen]] and Parsifal.

Performances take place in a specially designed theatre, the Bayreuth Festspielhaus.
