About European Star Award
The European Star Award was launched in 2012 by the trade magazine ‘Kirmes & Park International’ to recognise innovative ideas and promote entrepreneurial courage. The European Star Award is traditionally presented on the eve of IAAPA Expo Europe (www.iaapa.org) and has quickly established itself as the most important award in the European amusement park industry. An international jury of 40 experts voted in advance in 16 categories for parks and attractions within Europe. The next European Star Awards, like the IAAPA Expo Europe, will take place in London at the end of September 2026.
