The 73rd Moose Jaw Band & Choral Festival will take place on:

  • May 12-15, 2025 for concert bands

  • May 13-15, 2025 for choral and jazz bands

This festival takes place at venues in the heart of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan’s historic downtown. They didn't use to call us the Band City for nothing! The Moose Jaw Band and Choral Festival continues the tradition by providing young musicians an opportunity to improve their musicianship by working with experienced clinicians in a performance-focused, adjudicated atmosphere.
