BREAKING NEWS THE 2021 Chatham Kiwanis Music Festival is 100% VIRTUAL. The increase in Covid-19 cases in Chatham-Kent and across Canada and the uncertainty of what April will bring, have persuaded us to follow the lead of other music festivals across the province. The Ontario Music Festivals Association has provided us with guidelines to provide students with an online experience similar to the in-person festival but without the risk to health. ... See our website: www.chathamkiwanis.com or our Facebook page for details regarding entry, submission of entries, adjudication, reporting, etc. Awards and trophies will still be given but not in the Grand Concert.

The registration for the 75th Chatham Kiwanis Music Festival is now open. You can visit our website or click the Book Now button to begin.

The 2021 festival will go ahead without choirs and bands beginning April 5. The syllabus is ready to go to the printers. Our competitions will take into account the needs for masking, social distancing and sanitization at the time of the festival. ...
