Kiwanis Music Festival

Kiwanis Music Festival

The Kiwanis Music Festival movement consists of regional music competitions in most Canadian urban centres. Its origin probably traces as far back as an inaugural 1908 festival in Edmonton, where Governor General Earl Grey advocated the establishment of music festivals throughout Canada's provinces.cite web | url=http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=U1ARTU0000041 | publisher="The Canadian Encyclopedia" | title=Alberta Music Festival Association | accessdate=2008-02-10 | first=Florence | last=Musselwhite]

These festivals are named after the Kiwanis service clubs which generally support the events in each community. Typically, musicians and speech arts performers at each festival are given the opportunity to perform and compete for scholarships.
