About the application

One of the most special parts of Riverfest is the wonderful talent on display at the Entertainment Stage. The weekend will be filled with local musicians, dance teams, gymnasts, choirs, and other performances. While the League is very excited to support local talent, we are unable to pay performers. If you would like to be considered as part of the entertainment for Riverfest, please complete the application to be considered.
