Our goal is simple: "keeping music in the schools".  The Petaluma Music Festival Board of Directors believe passionately in the positive influence of music in children's lives.  Proceeds from this annual event will be distributed among Petaluma's public elementary and secondary schools to provide funding for their music programs.  Funding for the arts is problematic in California, as there is never enough funding for all our school's needs. With your attendance, you are making a difference, and we applaud you!
