Festivál is the eighth studio album by Santana, released in January 1977. It peaked number twenty seven in the Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart and number twenty nine in the Soul LPs chart.

This was the band's second and last album with Leon Patillo on vocals, and the last full-studio album for longtime members keyboardist Tom Coster and percussionist José "Chepitó" Areas. It also was the first one with percussionist Raul Rekow, who would remain with the band until 2013 (save for 1987–1990).

Leon Patillo would later record a version of "The River" for his 1982 album I'll Never Stop Lovin' You, retitled just "River".
