Festival of Music
2026 Registration Now Open
Please create an account on our new platform to register your group for Festival of Music.
Festival of Music at Canada’s Wonderland is one of the most anticipated and celebrated student performance events in Ontario.
Our festival offers four performance venues for bands and choirs to perform in and is open to all grade levels and group types. This is an adjudication, not a competition. A professional musician will adjudicate the performance and make comments throughout the performance for the group to keep as a file. This file will be sent to the group organizer by email following their performance. Once the performance Is over, the director can pick up a performance appreciation plaque to display in their music room!
This program is a great school trip idea and a special reward for your students who have dedicated themselves to your school band! Festival of Music is open to all elementary, middle, and senior high school instrumental and choral groups. Additionally, we welcome all community bands and choirs to participate.
PLEASE NOTE: You will select and register for a performance time. A cancellation agreement will need to be signed and returned within two weeks to confirm your booking.
