The Artmania Festival (stylized as ARTmaИ!a Festival) is an art festival, held in Sibiu, a town in Romania. The festival, one of the most important projects developed by ARTmania,[1] was first organized in the summer of 2006 and has been held every summer since.

The main attraction of the festival is the music: bands perform in the Large Square (Piaţa Mare) during the first two days weekend of the festival. Major bands have performed at the festival including Nightwish, HIM, Opeth, Amorphis, Anathema, Lacrimosa, Tiamat, My Dying Bride and Within Temptation and the festival grows each year.[2]

The ARTmania Festival also features other cultural events, such as visual art exhibitions, museum exhibitions, film screenings, classical music performances, lectures, workshops and parties.

The Sibiu annual festival has established a reputation for showcasing gothic metal artists and various other metal genres, expanding its scope to encompass heavy metal, punk, and alternative rock. Music serves as the central theme of the festival, with a strong emphasis on visual arts, particularly photography and painting.
