Edmonton Music & Speech Arts Festival 2025
The 117th Annual Edmonton Music & Speech Arts Festival invites you to discover the stars of tomorrow!
This year marks the 117th edition of North America’s longest-running festival of its kind (formerly the Edmonton Kiwanis Music Festival). From April 22 to May 4, nearly 1,400 performers (ages 4 to 80) will take the stage, showcasing their talents in over 690 classes. With 190 dedicated teachers behind them, these future stars will compete in music, speech, and performance across a variety of genres.
Choirs, bands, orchestras, pianists, vocalists, guitarists, actors, and more will be showcasing their hard work and passion. Some will earn the chance to represent Edmonton at the Provincial Music Festival, while others will win scholarships. But no matter the outcome, each performer is sure to inspire.
This will be the last year the festival is held at its current location—Alberta College—so don’t miss your chance to experience it there one last time!
