Over 1000 performers participate from all over the North Peace. The festival is an important opportunity for young artists to gain performance experience through the critiquing of a skilled adjudicator. The festival is fundamental to the continuing development of the performing arts in our area. Included are junior and senior piano, voice, musical theatre, choirs, bands and solo instrumental.
The event ends with the Grand Concert, which includes performances by award winning students.
