This will already be the sixth Festival Series in Bratislava since 2021, which says everything about how special this place is for their players. The city has a warm and relaxed vibe, and Banco Casino always delivers a great atmosphere, big turnouts, and an easy place for everyone to enjoy themselves. Kicking off 2026 here sets the tone for another full year, a year that will have more stops than you are used to from us!

It will be the first time in history they are heading to Vilnius. The Festival Weekend always has a bit of a different rhythm, less days, but the action is packed! 

In June, they return to King's Resort Rozvadov for another full event! This will be the third time hosting a Festival Series in this legendary poker destination, and every time the turnout and energy have been fantastic. King’s Resort is one of the most famous poker venues in Europe, and you can feel that special “poker culture” the moment you walk in. This ten-day stop usually attracts players from many different countries, which creates a great mix of styles and personalities at the tables. 

Tallinn hosts a Weekend stop in July, giving players a fun taste of what’s coming later in the year when they return for a full Main Series. Summer in Tallinn is beautiful, and the city has a relaxed but modern feel that fits perfectly with a shorter Festival schedule. Expect a few days of fast-paced tournaments and a great local poker atmosphere, making this a nice warm-up for the big autumn return.

Riga is new to the calendar, and cannot wait to visit this amazing city with The Festival Weekend. The city has a lively nightlife, good food, and a casino environment that always feels friendly and fun. The Weekend format keeps things compact, with each day offering something players don’t want to miss. It’s a great stop for a quick poker trip, meeting new friends, and playing the game we all adore so much.

Next up to sunny Malta, a destination that has become a real classic for The Festival Series. They have already hosted three Festival Series in Malta, and each one has grown in size and popularity. The mix of poker action, warm weather, seaside restaurants, and the relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle makes this stop very special. For many players, this is the perfect combination: a holiday and a poker festival in one trip. Portuguese Nuno Morais won the 2025 edition. The 2026 edition will once again bring a full week of events and a great international crowd, all being hosted by Portomaso Casino, which will be completely revamped by then!

This is one of the most important moments of 2026: The Festival Series finally returns to Tallinn. The last time we hosted a full Series here was back in 2022, which was only the second Festival Series in our history. Many players still talk about how special that event was, so coming back four years later feels like returning to a place where The Festival truly grew. Tallinn boasts a beautiful blend of old-town charm and modern venues, and its local poker community is strong and welcoming. With nine full days of poker, casino games, and all the social activities The Festival is known for, this stop is expected to be one of the highlights of the entire year.
