The Southeastern Manitoba Festival offers amateur musicians, dancers and speech performers from across the region the opportunity to perform, attend workshops, compete for awards, and be adjudicated by experts. Last year there were more than 800 performances in choral, dance, guitar, instrumental, musical theatre, piano, speech arts, string and vocal categories. Several Highlights Evenings are also presented each year, showcasing some outstanding performers.

SEMF would like to thank the many volunteers who help make things run smoothly each year. Volunteer opportunities for the 2008 season are listed on our Volunteer page. The Southeastern Manitoba Festival would not be possible without the generosity of our sponsors. SEMF relies mainly on these donations to cover its operating costs each year. If you are interested in making a tax-deductible donation, please see our Sponsor page. Thank you to all who contributed to the Southeastern Manitoba Festival and making it a big success!
