Congratulations and thank you to all the participants, adjudicators, parents, teachers, volunteers, venues and donors for a great 2025 Barrie Kiwanis Music Festival! We were so pleased to see the exceptional display of musicality demonstrated by festival participants with over 700 entries this year. The Barrie Kiwanis Music Festival was able to provide over $8,300 in scholarships thanks to our generous sponsors and donors.
84 participants of the Barrie Kiwanis Music Festival have gone on to participate in the Ontario Music Festivals Association 2025 OMFA Provincials, which took place from June 9 - 14, 2025. And a few of our acclaimed participants are also taking part in the Federation of Canadian Music Festivals 2025 FCMF National Music Festival from July 10 - 30, 2025. Please follow the Barrie Music Festival Association social media pages for updates and results from these two festivals.
We are already looking ahead to next year and planning for the 2026 Barrie Kiwanis Music Festival which will take place from March 30 - April 24, 2026. We look forward to seeing you all there!
