Fundraiser by MEGAPHONO
The Britannia Woods area continues to spawn some of Ottawa's most exciting musical talent, rising up from a neighbourhood that has had its share of challenges. Britannia Woods Community House has served the area since 1976, providing social, educational and recreational support to neighbourhood families, as well as the services of an emergency food pantry, which have been well-taxed of late and their main area of service throughout the pandemic.
MEGAPHONO is a local music showcase festival that welcomes music industry professionals from the US, Canada and abroad for a festival celebrating emerging artists, with a focus on artists from the National Capital Region. This year, we have had to pivot to an online format and present MEGAPHONO VIrtual, a two-day online music showcase festival taking place May 25-26, 2021. As a result, THE FESTIVAL IS ABSOLUTELY FREE THIS YEAR, but we're taking this opportunity to raise money for local charitable organizations.
On Wednesday May 25th, we are focusing our fundraising efforts on BRITANNIA WOODS COMMUNITY HOUSE all day during the festival! We encourage you to donate here while watching free showcases and conference panels all day, in lieu of event fees. The funds will go to help them continue their crucial work in our city and region.
All donations for MEGAPHONO VIrtual are being made in honour of Darryl Weeks, a friend of the festival and MEGAPHONO delegate who passed away in 2019 while attending our event in Ottawa. The loss of Darryl was devastating to the Canadian music community. We thank you all for your generosity in paying tribute to a man very dear to our hearts, whose spirit is always with us.
