EFFE or “Europe for Festivals, Festivals for Europe” is a program of the European Festival Association based in Brussels, supported by the European Commission and the European Parliament. The awarding of the “EFFE Label” is evaluated by an international group of experts, assessing various festival quality standards. “EFFE Label” guarantees the inclusion of the festival in the European festival network FestivalFinder.eu, which regularly provides information to fans of good music and mass media about events in almost all European countries.
The evaluation of the award of the “EFFE Label” also takes into account the reviews of artists about festivals. “You can feel that the team of the Rīgas ritmi festival really cares about music and artists,” Cuban singer Yilian Cañizares admitted last year after performing at the festival. “I felt warmly and wonderfully received and received a lot of love from both the audience and the organizers. This was definitely a wonderful experience!”
“Riga Rhythms” is a great festival!” French artist Charles Passi also did not hide his joy at visiting Riga. “Hospitable, elegant, warm and in keeping with the image of this city and its people. I can also tell you a little anecdote. When we arrived at the hotel, we were told that the lobby bar jam session. We had the desire to play one or two songs together with the jammers, but for ten minutes in obedience jam session band and realizing how good it was, none of us wanted to play anymore. We just listened and enjoyed. I think that says a lot about the quality of this festival.”

The main concert venue will be Riga Cathedral Garden, where the biggest concerts will be held on July 4 and 5.
