The European Music Year, or EUROPA Music Year, was celebrated in 1985. It was an initiative of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) aimed at promoting music and cultural exchange across Europe. EUROPA stamps commemorating European Music Year were issued by various postal administrations across Europe to mark this significant cultural event.

These stamps typically featured musical instruments, composers, famous musicians, or scenes related to music performance and appreciation. They served as a tribute to the rich musical heritage of Europe and highlighted the importance of music as a unifying force that transcends national boundaries.

The EUROPA Music Year provided an opportunity for European countries to showcase their diverse musical traditions and foster collaboration among musicians and cultural institutions. It encouraged the sharing of musical experiences and the promotion of cultural understanding and appreciation across the continent.

Through the issuance of EUROPA stamps dedicated to European Music Year, postal administrations contributed to the commemoration of this cultural milestone and celebrated the role of music in shaping European identity and heritage.
