Entertainment in The Village - Children's Area

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MARCH 15 Thank you for your interest in performing at the Chain of Parks Art Festival! The festival welcomes performers to apply to perform on a volunteer basis. Performance times are available throughout the weekend of April 23 & 24, 2022 from 10AM – 5PM on Saturday and 10AM-4PM on Sunday. Upon acceptance to participate, The Entertainment Chair will work with each group to schedule appropriate performance times. While our Main Stage is located in the Center Court on Calhoun and features a variety of local bands and aspiring singer/songwriters along with crowd-pleasing local performing arts groups, we ALSO have a pop-up performance area in the children's section called "The Village". This is the perfect spot for less-music-focused entertainers like storybook tellers, educational demonstrations, solo acts, etc. This is in a grassy area with a white fenced outline to create a "stage". The Village is an area within the Festival that provides opportunities for community connections to an estimated 35-40,000+ enthusiastic visitors! The purpose of this area is to promote organizations that support the arts in our community. The Village incorporates Community Partners, Pop-Up Studios, Sponsor Booths, and the historical Jacques Le Moyne Encampment, with fun foods, ENTERTAINMENT, and more!
