Celebrating Talent and Nurturing Confidence
Welcome to the Cariboo Music Festival
Since 1969, the Cariboo Music Festival has provided a stage where musicians, singers, speakers, teachers, and families come together to celebrate the performing arts.
Whether you are stepping onto the festival stage for the very first time or returning as a seasoned performer, we welcome you. We believe every performance is an opportunity to learn, grow, and share the joy of music and artistic expression.
Our adjudicators provide constructive feedback, celebrate achievements, and allow performers to gain valuable experience and confidence. Through the piano, vocal, choral, and speech arts disciplines, we strive to inspire excellence while fostering a lifelong love of the arts.
Our festival is made possible through the dedication of teachers, accompanists, volunteers, sponsors, families, and community supporters who believe in the importance of arts education and performance opportunities for young people.
