The SCFPA Society

Founded in 1973, the Sunshine Coast Festival of the Performing Arts (SCFPA) is the longest-running Festival on the Sunshine Coast.

We believe we can be a bastion of lifelong learning through the performing arts by supporting, growing, and promoting amateur performing artists of all ages and abilities on the Sunshine Coast. We do this by nurturing artistic excellence and providing opportunities to share and perform.

We are a registered charity and celebrated 50 years of the Festival in 2024 (there was no Festival in 2020).

Mission Statement

The Sunshine Coast Festival of the Performing Arts (SCFPA) supports, grows, and promotes amateur performing artists of all ages and abilities on the Sunshine Coast.

Land Acknowledgement

The SCFPA lives, works and plays on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and Shíshálh (Sechelt) First Nations.

Gratitude

Many, many thanks to our generous donors and sponsors, the gifted arts education teachers, adjudicators, discipline coordinators, volunteers, venue operators, families, and participants who have been, and continue to be, so vital to the success of each year’s Festival.
