So many performers, so many awards, and so many scholarships!! 🎶🎵

This year’s showcase concert was a huge success 🎉 So many talented Airdrie musicians took the stage and put on a fantastic show, closing out the festival on a high note.

From across all disciplines, the level of talent, hard work, and dedication was clear these past 2 weeks! It was great to see performers recognized for their efforts and to celebrate everything they have accomplished and allow them an opportunity to share their art with the community 🎶

The showcase concert is always a highlight, bringing the community together to support and recognize local artists 🎹🎻

Thank you to all of our sponsors, donors, volunteers, and board members who made this event possible. Your support continues to make opportunities like this available for performers in our community.

And thank you to everyone who came out and supported the festival we couldn’t do it without you!!
