The Bregenz Festival is a cultural festival that takes place annually in July and August in the Vorarlberg provincial capital of Bregenz in Austria.

The main attraction for a large number of visitors on the world's largest lake stage is the play on the lake.  The festival is known for the beauty of the natural scenery of Lake Constance, oversized stage sets, technical cabinet pieces and a unique acoustics, which is achieved by the technique of Bregenz directional hearing. Elisabeth Sobotka has been artistic director of the Bregenz Festival since January 2015.

The programme of the Bregenz Festival in 2004, for example, included around 80 events attended by over 215,000 spectators. The orchestra of the festival is the Vienna Symphony Orchestra.

The Festspielhaus Bregenz is an event centre in Bregenz and was opened in July 1980. It is the venue of the Bregenz Festival and the venue for conferences, congresses and events. It is operated by Kongresskultur Bregenz GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of the state capital Bregenz. At the first festival in 1946, Mazarts "Basien und Bastienne" and his "Kleine Nachtsmusik" choreographed as a ballet were performed as "Spiel auf dem See" in the gondola port of Mazarts. After a donation by Karl Deuring, the largest lake stage in the world, a grandstand with a capacity of 6400 people, was made available to the Festspiele in 1950. In 1979, it was initially reduced to 4400 seats by conversions, but after further expansion it now holds almost 7000 spectators. As a play on the lake, a large production of the music theatre was staged every year, initially mostly operettas, singing plays or play operas, since the 1970s more and more operas of the international repertoire and musicals. Between 1960 and 1977 the Seebühne was also used again and again for ballet performances. Since 1985, the productions have been performed on the Seebühne for two years at a time.
