The Board and the Participants of the Regina Music Festival announce our Festival Sponsor

The G. Murray and Edna Forbes Foundation

The Regina Music Festival Association gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the G. Murray and Edna Forbes Fund at the South Saskatchewan Community Foundation. The South Saskatchewan Community Foundation (SSCF) is a public foundation that serves the people of southern Saskatchewan. It invests in long-term impact in the community through legacy (endowment) funds.

WELCOME!


The Regina Music Festival Association is a registered charitable organization, run by dedicated volunteers. As a charity, we offer income tax benefits to our financial supporters. Volunteers play an essential role in the festival, serving as secretaries to the adjudicators and assisting as door personnel. Our board members are also volunteers who generously dedicate their time outside of their regular jobs to organize this annual celebration of the arts.


The Regina Music Festival Association relies on the support of local organizations and the generosity of individuals like you to continue our long-standing tradition of hosting this important cultural event.


IT TAKES OVER 1750 VOLUNTEER HOURS TO PRODUCE THE REGINA MUSIC FESTIVAL EACH YEAR.
