The Falcone Festival is recognized as the premier event celebrating euphonium and tuba performance. Founded in 1986 as a competition for student and artist-level euphoniumists, it expanded in 1991 to become a full festival—including lessons, clinics, master classes, and recitals with world-renowned artists. In 1996, the event grew further to include tuba.

Held each summer at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp in Twin Lake, Michigan, the Festival draws international talent and offers four days of performance, education, and community.

Support through sponsorships and advertising helps sustain this unique event.
