Ottumwa Schools Music All-City Festival

The Ottumwa Schools Music All-City Festival will be held on Friday, April 4, 2025, at 7:00 PM at the Bridge View Center. Admission is $5 for adults, while children attend for free. Please note this updated admission fee, which helps support our music programs. For those unable to attend in person, the event will be streamed live on Bulldogs Network.

Now in its 80th year, this event continues a tradition that began in 1945, thanks to the dedication of Ottumwa’s music educators. The festival will showcase the talents of 4th-grade students on recorders, 5th and 6-7 orchestras, and 5th and 6-7 bands. These young musicians have been working hard to prepare their performances and are eager to share their music with the audience.

Students will receive arrival time details from their directors. We invite the community to join us in celebrating the hard work and dedication of our young musicians!
