The Los Angeles A Cappella Festival is a weekend-long vocal festival held in Los Angeles, California each year with the aim to bring the best a cappella performers, educators, and enthusiasts together in an academic forum to celebrate, appreciate, and advance vocal music as an art form.

A weekend full of insightful lectures, workshops, and masterclasses—covering topics such as arranging, recording, vocal percussion, and more—closes with an evening concert featuring the year’s festival headliners, which have included influential a cappella powerhouses such as The House Jacks, m-pact, SONOS, Mosaic, Duwende, Pentatonix, and Hookslide.

For both the budding scholastic singer and seasoned a cappella veteran, LAAF provides unique opportunities for instruction, networking, and exposure through showcases of talent and expertise by clinicians and performers by way of the classroom and stage.
