Fortnite Festival is a 2023 rhythm game developed by Harmonix and published by Epic Games. In the game, players perform songs while attempting to achieve the highest score possible based on their performance. Each song features four different instruments, and players choose which instrument they want to play, as well as the song's difficulty; higher difficulties change the layout of the songs. A variety of songs can be chosen from, with a free selection that changes daily, as well as the opportunity to purchase songs outright from the Fortnite item shop. Songs range from those composed by Epic Games Sound Team to tracks from popular artists.

The game was released in December 2023 as part of the Fortnite launcher. It was released to mixed reviews from critics, who criticized the gameplay for being like other rhythm games, as well as the price of songs. Since release, many in-game "seasons" have been introduced, each themed around a specific featured artist or band. Other updates have also allowed the use of guitar controllers, adding new features designed with the controllers in mind, allowing the game to be played similarly to Guitar Hero or Rock Band, which Harmonix also developed. Later updates also added a player versus player mode.
