Beer Garden Performer Application
About the application
We’re on the lookout for talented local musicians to help bring the magic of the season to life at the ChristmasVille Beer Garden! This festive, open-air gathering spot is one of the festival’s most popular hangouts, offering live music, seasonal brews, and cozy vibes all weekend long.
We’re seeking small, acoustic-style acts that can keep the mood merry and bright with minimal setup. Whether you're a solo artist or a small group, this is your chance to perform in front of a cheerful crowd in the heart of
Old Town Rock Hill during ChristmasVille weekend.
Performance slots will take place on:
Saturday, December 6 from 12 PM – 6 PM
Sunday, December 7 from 12 PM – 6 PM
Each selected act will be given a 55-minute performance slot, with 5 minutes allocated for setup and breakdown—so please plan accordingly. This stage is designed for low-tech performances: we’ll provide one microphone and one speaker, and limited power is available only for the equipment we provide.
Apply below to be considered for a slot in the ChristmasVille Beer Garden and help us make spirits bright!
