About the application

We are seeking talented local musicians and street performers to bring live energy, festive tunes, and cozy holiday vibes to our holiday market!

 

Performance Details & Guidelines:

  • Theme & Atmosphere: We are looking for performances that complement a festive holiday setting (acoustic, holiday classics, folk, warm upbeat genres, etc.). 
  • Equipment: Buskers/musicians are required to bring their own PA system, instruments, and performance gear.
  • Power: Onsite access to electricity will be provided for your setup.
  • Compensation: Selected performers will receive a $350 stipend for the event.
  • Time: 12 - 5 PM
  • Buskers are required to have a pre-curated, family-friendly playlist ready to play between live sets to maintain continuous music throughout the event. Please ensure your setup accommodates playing audio during your break intervals.
