A high note of Suwanee Fest is the outstanding talent that performs in Town Center Park. On the stage and throughout the park, you will find dance groups, acrobats, solo artists, bands, and other exhibition groups with very diverse backgrounds. Up-and-coming performers as well as established favorites entertain and delight audiences of all ages during this two-day event. Applicants will be considered for entertainment slots on Saturday, September 21 or Sunday, September 22. *Please note that Suwanee Fest does not charge for admission, therefore entertainers are generally not paid to perform at this event. All performances should be family- and little ears/eyes-friendly. Application does NOT guarantee a time slot. Most performance times are limited to 30 minutes. The City of Suwanee and the Suwanee Fest committee have the right to limit the number of performers and backstage personnel. Groups who wish to sell merchandise during and following their performance may do so but should provide their own personnel. Stage plots and other special needs must be coordinated with the Suwanee Fest stage manager prior to event day. This is a rain or shine event.
