Entertainer Application '26

2026 Lavender Festival
July 10-11

10am-9pm both days

The Lavender Festival at The Lavender Apple farm in Millville, Utah is a celebration of lavender, bringing together a community of nature lovers, families, and artisans. The festival features lavender U-Pick, fresh squeezed lavender lemonade, artisan vendors, food trucks, horse drawn wagon rides, and live music, creating a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere for attendees.

We are looking for solo musicians, duos, and small acoustic bands that can provide a family-friendly, laid-back, and engaging musical experience that complements the serene farm setting. Genres such as folk, acoustic, bluegrass, jazz, classical, and soft indie are highly encouraged.

 
We will have a sound system and a full-time sound guy on site throughout the festival. You will be performing on a stage with a canopy covering you, so your instruments will be out of the sun. 

Performances should be family-friendly and appropriate for all ages.

This is a paid performance opportunity; compensation details will be discussed upon acceptance. We have a limited entertainment budget, so if you are willing to negotiate a lower price or a trade, mention that in your application.

We will let you know if you have been chosen as a performer by April 24, 2026.

The Lavender Apple will promote selected musicians on festival marketing materials, social media, and the event website.
