As part of the Dwelling in the Psalms year, the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship has provided resources to support Psalm festivals around Canada and the United States. These events are open to the public and many will be livestreamed. 

This list of festivals will continue to be updated as information becomes available. If you are interested in hosting a Psalm festival in your worshiping community, see our festival application page to learn more and apply.

These festivals are a part of the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship's yearlong Dwelling in the Psalms.
