Established in 1975, the Morden Festival of the Arts has grown to be one of the largest arts festivals in the province and continues to be an important event for the community of Morden. The main objective of the Morden Festival is to foster and promote continued interest, growth and development of talent within the arts. The Festival does this by providing a venue for student performance and adjudication in the following disciplines, held throughout March and April:
- Strings
- Piano
- English and French Speech Arts
- Vocal/Choral
- Band
The Hi-Lites Concert is the grand finale of the festival and showcases performances which have been recommended by the adjudicators of each discipline.

Registration forms can also be submitted by mail. Forms are available on our website at: http://mordenfestivalofthearts.cfsites.org/
