FESTIVAL UPDATES


​
​Watch here for any updates regarding scheduling
​or otherwise during the Festival. ​
Please check here during the Festival for any changes that may be required to a 
​chosen venue or class schedule due to inclement weather or otherwise.  
ALL classes will run during the specified sessions and at the specified location as per the published program unless otherwise posted below.  Should weather conditions result in poor driving conditions and/or school bus cancellations,  the organizers of the Sunderland Lions Music Festival will always endeavour to re-schedule all such affected classes, whenever feasible.  Despite our best efforts, this may not always be possible due to either adjudicator or venue availability. Cancellations or venue changes will be posted on this page as soon as they arise and will also be posted at the originally listed venue(s).
