Musicfest Northwest's yearly participation ranges from 1,200 to 1,500 youngmusicians and is considered to be the largest festival of its kind in the United States. Festival entrants receive an individual written and oral evaluation of their performance by qualified teachers

Since 1945, Musicfest Northwest has provided young music and dance students the opportunity to perform and have their talent adjudicated by top professional artists from across the U.S.  It is the largest festival of its kind on the West Coast.  Students from elementary to post- graduate level participate in ballet, brass flute, guitar, organ, percussion, piano, reed, and string and voice divisions.

The Young Artist Section is for more advanced musicians and dancers who compete within their division on Sunday or Monday.

The aim of Musicfest Northwest, a non-profit volunteer organization, is to develop in young people an enjoyment and appreciation of all the arts, encouraging the study of music and the arts and to promote high standards of performance.

Everyone is welcome to all Musicfest Northwest adjudicated classes and evening performances. Some people like to spend the day enjoying the young performers and gleaning “pearls” from the adjudicator’s comments.
