Music Celebration Week (MCW) is a 4-day, non-stop musical celebration showcasing and recognizing the best of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) artists and music.
MCW events and showcases are held at a number of official venues, but the music doesn’t stop there! Our Partner Stage Program offers local businesses in the host city the chance to join in on the fun by becoming an official MCW Partner Stage and programming live music during the conference!
Partner Stages receive a list of MCW-approved artists ready to be booked and marketing support for their show(s), as well as a subsidy, and the opportunity to be a part of NL’s biggest celebration of music.
