The Calgary Kiwanis Music Festival is a tradition that brings people of all ages together to share their love for music and the speech arts.  As one of North America's largest amateur competitive classical music festivals, the Calgary Kiwanis Music Festival gives almost 9,500 amateur musicians and speech arts performers the opportunity to perform, compete for scholarships, listen to others, and be adjudicated by national and international adjudicators.

The Calgary Kiwanis Music Festival features performers from 5 to 25 years of age, in 1,005 classes in 16 categories including piano, speech, choirs, musical theatre and, for the first time, harp classes.  Classes are open to individuals, duets, small ensembles and groups. 

The Calgary Kiwanis Music Festival is a member of the Alberta Music Festival Association and the Federation of Canadian Music Festivals.
