Charlottetown, PE - The East Coast Music Association announced today that the East Coast Music Awards: Festival and Conference will return to Charlottetown in May 2024.
The five-day international gathering is the premier event of its kind in Atlantic Canada, contributing millions of dollars in economic and tourism impacts to host destinations and serving as one of the top music industry events in Canada, on par with the JUNOS and the Canadian Country Music Awards.
“The East Coast Music Awards: Festival and Conference is thrilled to be back in Charlottetown in May 2024,” said Andy McLean, CEO of the East Coast Music Association. “As a host city, Charlottetown is renowned for its hospitality, generosity, and love for live music. I know 2024 will be a stellar event attracting music fans and industry professionals from around the world to celebrate and promote our amazing East Coast talent.”
Charlottetown has played host to the East Coast Music Awards: Festival and Conference many times over the years, most recently in 2019. The musical celebration is a perfect fit for the capital city’s impressive downtown music scene. When coupled with a wide array of performance spaces, accommodations, and culinary options, Charlottetown sets the stage for a vibrant, walkable festival experience.
“Charlottetown is passionate about hosting the East Coast Music Awards: Festival and Conference and we’re excited to once again have the opportunity to host here in the Birthplace of Confederation in 2024,” said Charlottetown Mayor Philip Brown. “The City of Charlottetown’s Tourism and Event Management Team has worked closely with the East Coast Music Association over the past few months to secure hosting rights and attract the event to the capital city, stimulating elevated economic and tourism prosperity during the shoulder tourism season.”
It’s an exciting time for the East Coast Music Association as they return to live, in-person events following virtual events in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19. The 2022 East Coast Music Awards: Festival and Conference will be hosted in Fredericton, NB. The 2023 event will be hosted in Halifax, NS.
