Past Festivals

The first ever annual Chicago Flute Club Flute Fair was held in 1998. The Chicago Flute Club has always provided educational, entertaining, and enlightening clusters of showcases, presentations, performances, masterclasses, competitions, and exhibits at all of its flute fairs. The Flute Fair was an annual event until March 2007, when the first two-day Flute Festival took place in November. The expanded Flute Festival became a biennial event held in November.
