Voices of the Dream: MLK regional choir Competition

Join us for a soul-stirring celebration of music, community, and legacy at the Voices of the Dream: MLK Regional Choir Competition, proudly hosted by Visit Shreveport-Bossier and the 318 MLK DreamFest Steering Committee.

This two-day event honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s enduring message of unity and hope through the power of choral performance. Choirs from across the region will lift their voices in three powerful categories: Gospel, Spirituals, and Inspirational (Sacred/Secular) — all showcasing the timeless spirit of resilience and harmony.

Experience performances that move hearts, inspire change, and celebrate the shared legacy that continues to bring people together. For questions or more information, contact us at destination318@visitshreveportbossier.org.
