The Kiwanis Music Festival movement consists of regional music competitions. 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.
Brantford Kiwanis ended this music festival in 2017. Brant Music Festival [1] continues as a new festival in the same tradition from 2018. Brantford Kiwanis Music Festival was originally Brantford Music Festival.
Originally organized as solely a music festival by local IODEs, in 1940 it added "elocution" and is now known as the Cape Breton Kiwanis Festival of Music, Speech and Drama. The Kiwanis Club of Sydney became the sponsor in 1960 and continues to support the annual Festival today.
Originally the Okanagan Valley Music Festival, which was hosted in a 3-year cycle among Kelowna, Penticton and Vernon. Kelowna's festival became fully autonomous in 1981.[3]
Originally the Earth Music Festival, established by the fraternal order of the Knights of Pythias. There are several smaller festival events from February each year (Jazz, Concert Band, Choral) leading up to the Main Festival in April.
