Founded in 1993 by Toronto residents Attila Glatz and Susan Alberghini in conjunction with local residents, Jim and Jane Alexander, the Huntsville Festival of the Arts has become one of Canada's most significant and highly acclaimed arts festivals. Based in Huntsville, Ontario, the Festival's roots were initially strongly classical and centered around a resident professional symphony orchestra under the baton of Kerry Stratton. Today the Festival covers a broad spectrum of classical and contemporary music events, as well as dance, theatre, literature, children's cultural activities and public celebrations. Muskoka's resort and cottage country offers a variety of unique venues for the Festival's events. Starting in 2005 Huntsville's new Algonquin Theatre became principle venue. In addition, several Huntsville locations are used including Trinity United Church, Muskoka Heritage Place, Deerhurst Resort Pavilion and the Town Centre's outdoor gazebos and waterfront.The Festival fosters a sense of ownership in the community and is considered an integral summer event in the area.

The Festival has opened the doors to talented young musicians who are still unknown to the public, something nobody has done before. Among these are the 18-year-old Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki, now known worldwide; Jonathan Crow, now concertmaster of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra; and the Afiara String Quartet, Laureat of the prestigious Banff International String Quartet competition.
