Before the JUNOS arrived on our shores, our goal was simple: to showcase Atlantic Canada as the vibrant hub of musical talent we all know it is. And now that JUNO Week is behind us, wow, did our region ever come through! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made the 2024 JUNOS in Halifax a success.

Let's Take a Look Back at a Juno Week to Remember:
