Performer Application

Performance Stages

The Bo Diddley Plaza Stage offers a great showcase for larger ensembles of both musicians and dancers. Bands are fully supported with professional backline services and a Stage Manager/MC to help get them on stage to set up within the 20 minutes allotted in this festival setting. The set runs 40 minutes with a firm start and stop time.  Efficiency is expected in taking and leaving the stage so that all performers will be able to start at their scheduled time.

The Children’s Imagination Station Stage always presents age-appropriate acts, with some openings for children who wish to perform in a professional setting to enhance their musical performance skills. A Stage Manager/MC will be on hand to help with set-up and sound for the kid-friendly 20 minute sets.

A variety of Street Performers are scattered along the festival route.  Performances range from acoustic musicians to wandering puppets.  Performer placement is carefully designed to ensure a friendly distance from art booths and other performer areas.
​

2022 Performer Applications Are Now Closed. Check Back in April 2023.
