EXIT (Template:Lang-sr / Egzit) is a summer music festival which is held at the Petrovaradin Fortress in the City of Novi Sad, Serbia.

EXIT has received several awards: the Golden Superbrand at Superbrands Serbia 2006,[11] Best SEE Event at SEE.ME Awards in 2007, 2008 and 2010.[12] UK Festival Awards 2007, together with Yourope, the Association of the 40 largest festivals in Europe, awarded EXIT the 'Best European Festival' award. In March 2018 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Regional Cooperation Council awarded EXIT Festival as Champion of Regional Cooperation for 2017.[13]

EXIT team organizes six events on five different locations in five countries in South-East Europe: Festival 84 (Jahorina Mountain, Bosnia and Herzegovina) in March, Sea Star Festival (Umag, Croatia) in May, Revolution Festival (Timișoara, Romania) in June, EXIT Festival (Novi Sad, Serbia) in July, Sea Dance Festival (Budva, Montenegro) in August and No Sleep Festival (Belgrade, Serbia) in November[14]
