Holiday in the Park 2026 – Main Stage Performers
About the application
Holiday in the Park’s Main Stage is the centerpiece for live music and entertainment at Magnolia Park’s annual Holiday in the Park celebration in Burbank.
We’re looking for bands, musicians, and other live acts interested in performing on the Main Stage during Holiday in the Park on Friday, November 20, 2026, from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
The Main Stage is intended for live music and performance acts including rock, pop, jazz, R&B, soul, funk, blues, country, folk, Latin, and other musical styles. We welcome applications from both established and emerging performers.
Holiday in the Park is a large, free community celebration that takes place along Magnolia Boulevard and attracts visitors of all ages. Performances should be appropriate for a public, all-ages environment.
This is a curated performance opportunity. Applicants will be asked to provide information about their act, examples of their live performance, availability, and basic technical requirements. Selection will be based on the strength of the performance, fit with Holiday in the Park, technical and scheduling considerations, and the overall balance of the Main Stage lineup.
Submitting an application does not guarantee selection, and selected performers are not guaranteed a particular performance time or set length. Final scheduling will be determined by the Holiday in the Park programming team.
If your group is a choir, dance troupe, school or youth performance group, caroling group, or other community-based performance, please apply for our Community Stage instead.
Applications must be received by October 8, 2026 at 11:59 PM.
We can’t wait to see you on stage!

Terms & Conditions
Main Stage Performer Terms & Conditions
By submitting this application and accepting a performance opportunity on the Holiday in the Park Main Stage, the performer or performing group agrees to the following:
1. Performance & Participation
Holiday in the Park will take place on Friday, November 20, 2026, from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM in Magnolia Park, Burbank.
Selected performers will be assigned a performance time and will receive additional information regarding arrival, check-in, setup, sound check (if applicable), performance, and breakdown prior to the event.
Performers must arrive by their assigned call time and be ready to perform at the scheduled time. Because Holiday in the Park is a live public event with multiple scheduled performers, sets must begin and end within the time allotted. Performers may not extend their performance beyond their assigned time without approval from the stage manager or event organizers.
2. Selection & Scheduling
Submission of an application does not guarantee selection for the Main Stage. Performers are selected through the Holiday in the Park programming process based on factors including the proposed performance, overall program needs, available performance times, technical requirements, and fit with the event.
Selection does not guarantee a particular performance time, set length, or position in the program. Magnolia Park Events reserves the right to determine and modify the performance schedule as necessary.
3. Performance Personnel
The application should accurately represent the performer or group that will appear at Holiday in the Park, including the approximate number of performers and nature of the performance.
Significant changes to the performing group, performance format, or proposed program after acceptance should be communicated to Magnolia Park Events in advance and may require approval.
4. Technical & Production Requirements
Performers must provide accurate information in their application regarding instruments, microphones, audio playback, electrical needs, stage space, and other technical or production requirements.
Stage equipment and production capabilities are limited. Magnolia Park Events will provide accepted performers with information regarding available sound, staging, electrical, and production equipment prior to the event.
Performers should not assume that specialized equipment, instruments, amplifiers, backline, props, or other production equipment will be provided unless specifically confirmed by event organizers.
Performers with a stage plot, input list, technical rider, or similar production information are encouraged to provide it when requested.
All performer-provided equipment must be in safe working condition and must be set up and operated in a manner that does not create a safety hazard.
5. Performance Content
Holiday in the Park is a public, all-ages community event attended by adults, families, and children. Performers should take the setting and audience into consideration when planning their performance.
Performances must comply with applicable laws and event safety requirements. Magnolia Park Events reserves the right to address performance content or conduct that is unsafe, unlawful, substantially different from what was proposed and approved, or reasonably inappropriate for the setting of an all-ages public community event.
The intent of this provision is not to restrict artistic expression, but to recognize the public, all-ages setting in which Holiday in the Park takes place.
6. Performer Equipment & Personal Property
Performers are responsible for their own instruments, equipment, costumes, props, and personal property except for equipment specifically confirmed as being provided by the event.
Magnolia Park Events, Holiday in the Park, the City of Burbank, event sponsors, property owners, and participating partners are not responsible for theft, loss, or damage to performer-owned equipment or personal property before, during, or after the event.
Performers are responsible for obtaining any insurance they consider appropriate for their equipment and personal property.
7. Photography, Video & Promotion
Performers acknowledge that photography, video recording, and other documentation will take place throughout Holiday in the Park.
Performers grant Magnolia Park Events and its event partners permission to photograph and record their Holiday in the Park performance and to use photographs, video clips, and recordings from the event for documentation, publicity, social media, and promotion of Holiday in the Park and related community programs.
This permission does not transfer ownership of the performer's underlying music, compositions, choreography, or other intellectual property to Magnolia Park Events or any event partner.
8. Artists Under 18
Performers under the age of 18 are welcome to participate. Participation by minors may require the consent of a parent or legal guardian.
Groups that include minors are responsible for providing appropriate adult supervision and for obtaining any parental or guardian permissions required for their members to participate.
9. Event Changes or Cancellation
Holiday in the Park is an outdoor public event. Magnolia Park Events reserves the right to modify performance times, set lengths, stage arrangements, technical arrangements, or other event details when reasonably necessary due to weather, safety concerns, government requirements, production needs, emergencies, schedule changes, or circumstances beyond the organizers' control.
Magnolia Park Events also reserves the right to postpone, suspend, or cancel all or part of the event or a performance when circumstances make it necessary or impractical to proceed.
10. Compliance with Event & Stage Instructions
Selected performers agree to follow reasonable instructions from event organizers, stage managers, production personnel, and public-safety personnel regarding arrival, loading, setup, sound levels, stage access, performance timing, safety, breakdown, and event operations.
Performers must promptly remove their equipment from the stage or performance area following their set when instructed so that the next scheduled performer can prepare.
Failure to follow reasonable event or safety requirements may result in modification or cancellation of a performance.
