EFEST (English Festival) is the biggest annual event held by EFEC FEB Riau University. The aim of holding EFEST is to accommodate students and pupils who have talent and interest in the field of English language competitions.

EFEST takes place from October 29 to October 1, 2023, where there are 8 competitions, including speech, storytelling, news anchor, debate, solo song, acoustic, essay, and poster.
- The debate competition aims to train people to be able to argue correctly and with weight, as well as train critical thinking.

The series of English Festival events closed with a closing ceremony on November 1, 2023, offline in front of One Alumni Coffee and also online via Zoom meeting.
The event from October 30 to November 1 was held in front of One Alumni Coffee. The committee also applies ticketing at IDR 5,000 for outside parties who want to enter the event area. Around the competition area, there are many bazaar stands (17 stands). The committee also set up a games corner stand that can be enjoyed by competition participants, committee members, and the general public. For those who buy tickets, they can try the games corner for free twice. For those who don't buy tickets, they have to pay again if they want to try the games corner.
From a series of events held by the committee, it is hoped that participants and the general public can really enjoy them. It is hoped that EFEST can be a safe and comfortable place for participants who want to try to excel in the field of English.
