Annual Stamford Kiwanis Music Festival![Historical Archive Note]

[Current status] Due to circumstances beyond our control this event has been permanently discontinued. With the advent of the Covid 19 Pandemic it became impossible to sustain this event.We gratefully acknowledge the long-term support both financially and spiritually by the community and are proud to included here as a part of our ongoing heritage and historical community involvement.

The students of music in Niagara have always been enthusiastic about their studies, but it was in 1933 that a group of enlightened citizens recognized the need to allow these students to showcase their talents through the excitement of competition. The Niagara Falls Music Festival was formed to address this need and in 1949 it was the Kiwanis Club that took ownership.

Over the years the Festival has evolved, but it continues to attract hundreds of participants annually from Piano and Voice studies. Over $500,000 in scholarships have been awarded to deserving students. It takes over 50 volunteers and 1,000 man hours to produce.
