Spring Festival "Over the Rainbow" is an annual non-competitive festival for young musicians aged 4-24, held in March in London.

The hybrid format of the festival allows participants  to take part in the:

1. Virtual concert by submitting a recorded video of their performance, which will be streamed on March 8, 2026, on the festival's official YouTube channel.

2. Live concert on March 22 2026, at Redbridge Town Hall, Ilford, London.

3. Both parts

Through our unique hybrid format,  Over the Ranbow Festival provides a stage for talented young musicians  from England and around the world. 

We give young performers the chance to choose the format that suits them best and showcase their talent – whether they play any musical instrument, sing, or perform traditional music from their homeland.

That’s why we have created three main categories across all levels of difficulty:

1.Instrumental Performances

 2.Vocal Performances

 3.Folk/Traditional Music
