We are hoping to collect a comprehensive 70+ year history of the Brant Music Festival and its predecessor Brantford Kiwanis Music Festival. We would appreciate your help in sending in artefacts such as old programs, schedules, photographs, news clippings, or anything else to help us build the archive.
