Any teen/school can register and attend the festival in order to participate in workshops/demonstrations and watch performances throughout the day. The festival runs from June 2-4, 2025 at Middlesex County College. The state highly recommends registering early in order to lock in the day that works best for the attending school. Any teen may participate (register) to attend the State Festival (workshops and master classes) but only those officially invited and have registered are eligible to be placed on the performance or adjudicated exhibit schedule at the State Festival.
