Known as the “local Grammys,” the Central Pennsylvania Music Awards is an annual red-carpet event designed to recognize the best-of-the-best of the year in music! It’s “The Local Music Scene’s BIGGEST Night!” Not only is this event an awards show to celebrate the area’s best of 2025, but it’s also an induction ceremony for the 2026 class of the Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame! This year’s induction class includes Martie Maguire (of The Chicks), The Ocean Blue, The Couriers, Eddie Rambeau, and Bill Fisher!

“Best band attire” or evening/formal wear is encouraged. This is your chance to dress to the nines!
