2015 AIBF Edmonton Festival

Starts: Friday, March 20 9:00 AM

Ends: Friday, March 20 5:00 PM

In 1971, Mr. John Nikel had a vision for a band festival that would provide an opportunity for young Albertans to perform and learn in a positive, educational environment. This vision resulted in the first Alberta International Band Festival (then the Alberta Stage Band Festival) with 8 jazz bands performing in the first year.

Now, some 42 years later, the Festival annually hosts more than 300 school and community-based concert and jazz bands in both Edmonton and Calgary. The Alberta International Band Festivals is recognized for its commitment to education through world-class adjudicators and excellent performance venues.
