From Community Living Huntsville<\/p>\n
Some things change, some stay the same.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The long-running community talent show, Huntsville\u2019s Got Talent, has a new name:\u00a0 Muskoka\u2019s Got Talent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis name change better reflects the spirit of the event as it continues to grow and\u00a0 welcome participants from across Muskoka and area,\u201d says Jennifer Jerrett, event\u00a0 organizer and Community Engagement Specialist for Community Living Huntsville. \u201cAt\u00a0 the same time, it remains true to its roots in shining a spotlight on local talent and\u00a0 raising funds for charity.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jerrett says the new name reflects the energy, creativity, and community pride that the\u00a0 event inspires \u2013 not just in one town, but across the region. \u201cAt its core, it\u2019s still the\u00a0 same show celebrating the people and spirit that make our communities shine,\u201d she\u00a0 says.<\/p>\n
The event also continues its tradition of giving back, with all proceeds to Community\u00a0 Living Huntsville. Funds raised support the not-for-profit organization\u2019s affordable\u00a0 housing initiatives for people with developmental disabilities and families who access its\u00a0 services.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From musicians and dancers to comedians, poets, and more, performers of all ages\u00a0 and skill level are encouraged to save the date and apply when Muskoka\u2019s Got Talent 2026 contestant registration opens on November 27, 2025.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Top 10 Finalists selected by the judges and the public will perform live on stage at\u00a0 the Algonquin Theatre in Huntsville in front of a supportive audience made up of friends,\u00a0 family, and neighbours on February 28, 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jerrett also says that this year brings other exciting updates \u2013 bigger cash prizes, a live\u00a0 People\u2019s Choice vote during the show, and a secret judge hidden in the crowd.\u00a0<\/p>\n
