A music festival is an event which features performances by various musicians, singers, and groups. Charity music festivals not only raise funds for local charities, they are also a hotbed for performances as well as fringe activities to raise awareness for the various beneficiaries.
Here are some local festivals that redefine “music from the soul”.
Music For A Cause
Music For A Cause is an all-local annual music festival that provides a platform to generate awareness and raise funds for social causes in Singapore. This year, the event saw 13 bands supporting 16 social causes. It is also an all-local Music Festival, featuring local artistes/bands, as well as local entrepreneurs supporting the event.
IGNITE! Music Festival
An integral part of this music festival is the festival village, which keeps visitors occupied with activities from the service-learning communities, to promote social good and compassion. A platform for local independent bands to showcase their music and solely student-run, it is the only music festival of this scale organised by a Polytechnic.
