Established in 2000, the World Choir Games is the largest choral festival and competition on the globe and has been called the Olympics of choral singing. WCG is renowned for its ability to bring together all nations and cultures in a joyful celebration of creativity, diversity, friendship and peace.
The World Choir Games are of truly world scale. Competition takes place during the day across a range of central city venues (up to ten at any one time), while the festival consists of an Olympic-style parade; large opening, awards and closing ceremonies; and many evening concerts featuring the participating choirs.
The 13th World Choir Games were held in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand from 10 to 20 July 2024. This was the very first time the Games were held in Oceania.
