AleziRadio Festival of Songs 1997 is the fortieth edition of the annual AleziRadio Festival of Songs. The competition was held as usual in 16th of May 1996 by the authorities of Radio Zafizamarrah. This is the third time that Bristol hosted the competition after previously hosting in 1961 and 1976 after the victory of Three Grand with the song "Something Isn't Right Here"

The festival was organized by the Royal Bristolian Radio (RBR), where like Zafizamarrah, decided to hold a bidding process to pick the hosting city for the festival. A record seven cities bid for the event, such as Victoria, Aubergine, St. Yves au Vignette, Damperson, Hackley, Amerson, Amoston, and Breganny. Initially, three other cities was going to bid, such as Mariabel, New Bearington, and Cualquey. However, financial problems forced the three cities to withdrew. Due to the massive amount of cities bidding, RBR decided to shortlist the list, where they put Victoria, Hackley, and Breganny to the final round of bidding. In a tight round of voting, Breganny won the rights to host the festival where they earned 56% of the RBR's board's vote.

Breganny was Bristol's fifth largest city at the time, as of the 1995 census, it has the population of 251,000. The factor of it's selection to host the competition was the fact that Breganny is only 34 kilometers away from Victoria, the capital of Bristol. For the event, they decided to hold the event in the newly built Bristolian Centre. It can host 5,388 people, making it one of the biggest venues to have hosted the festival.

Visually, the 1997 logo can be said as one of the most unique in the "Coca-Cola Sponsorship Era". Even though it retained the shapes, the visual team at RBR rearranged the logo and changed the colour to Red, White, and Blue to represent the Union Jack, which was (and still is) in the flag of the region (now sub-region) as Bristol remained a British-Alezian joint-cooperation area until 2021 where the United Kingdom returned Bristol fully to the Alezian Union. Other than that, the colours also unofficially represents the French community, which is the biggest minority in Bristol. This year is also the first time that the caption below the logo didn't use a second language since the official language of Bristol is solely English.

Conductors

The list of conductors can be seen below.

Soeradi returned as conductor after unable to do so last year due to overexhaustion. However, Dnerash Abikoshev withdrew after disagreements with Radio Tel Hadiv-Yezateinu over how the conducting should be initiated. And so, the Tel Hadivian entries were conducted by Kadesh Kayel.
