Hampton Roads Harp Festival and Competition
February 27-28, 2026
The Hampton Roads Harp Festival and Competition was founded in 2016 at Christopher Newport University; after several years at CNU, the Festival and Competition re-branded to reflect the move to Old Dominion University in 2022. We are the region's oldest and largest harp festival and harp competition, with performers and participants from across the globe. We look forward to welcoming you to our 10th anniversary event in Norfolk, Virginia. Be sure to stop by our booth and say hello to Kristina!
Atlanta Harp Center Festival
March 20-22, 2026
The Atlanta Harp Center Festival is an immersive, three-day gathering designed to inspire harpists at every stage of their musical journey. Combining world-class performances, engaging masterclasses, practical workshops, and meaningful community-building, the festival offers a rare opportunity to learn directly from leading artists while connecting with fellow harpists from across the region and beyond. Whether you are refining your technique, expanding your artistic voice, or simply soaking up the energy of a vibrant harp-centered community, the festival is equal parts rigor, creativity, and joy—no fluff, just excellent music-making.
