Burlington considers cutting funding for 2025 Sound of Music festival over financial concerns.
On October 6, Burlington’s Committee of the Whole considered ending municipal funding for the 2025 Sound of Music festival due to financial instability and non-compliance, sparking a debate over its future.
Festival leaders cited a 2022 economic impact of $12.1 million, $5.2 million in tax revenue, and strong community engagement, including 1,500 volunteers and 400 Canadian artists over a decade.
They requested $750,000 in emergency support, including loan forgiveness and increased annual funding, arguing the event’s cultural and economic benefits outweigh financial concerns.
The city has not yet decided.
