Welcomes you to the 70th Annual Poke Sallet Festival!
Something BIG is coming to the Poke Sallet Festival stage!
For the 70th Annual Poke Sallet Festival, we’re turning up the volume and bringing back some of your FAVORITE voices from years past with Poke Sallet Idol: All-Stars - A battle of local idol LEGENDS!
Who knows which champions will be returning?! You'll have to stay tuned to find out!
We’ve reached out to as many of our past Poke Idol and Voice of Poke winners as we could, but there’s a chance we might’ve missed one or two along the way. If you’re a past champion and we haven’t reached out to you and want to jump in — shoot us a message! We’ll make sure you’re added to the Round 1 line-up!
Here’s how it’s going down:
Round 1: June 5th – Our All-Star contestants will each perform TWO songs, with the order randomized. The top 3 will move on to the Finals as determined by a panel of judges AND crowd participation.
Finals: June 7th – The top THREE performers face off! The winner to be determined by a panel of judges AND crowd participation! The top vocalist will take home a grand prize of $1000!
Exact times will be announced soon – so stay tuned!
You won’t want to miss this epic showdown of past champions on the Poke Sallet Festival stage! And don’t worry - Poke Sallet Idol in it’s traditional form will return next year!
