The first Shuswap Music Festival was held in 2001 by a partnership of the Shuswap branch of the BC Registered Music Teachers Associaton and the Rotary Club of Salmon Arm. Hundreds of amateur musicians from the Shuswap and other parts of the Southern Interior participate in the festival each year. Their performances are adjudicated and some are then eligible to advance to the Performing Arts BC Provincial Music Festival Competition.

Each year the week-long festival is concluded with a gala concert on the last evening and scholarships are awarded to music students as encouragement to continue honing their singing and playing.
Performers of all ages are invited to register in the band, strings, junior and senior piano, voice and choir categories.
