Each year we receive more applications than available performance slots. Acts that do not get scheduled are placed on a Waitlist and may be asked to perform in the event of a cancellation. Often these calls are short notice (the day before or day of performance). We are expecting a record number of applications for the 50th Festival.
If you do not receive a performance slot in the initial schedule, please let us know if you would like to be added to the Waitlist.
After you click submit, your information will be recorded and a confirmation will be sent to your email address along with a copy of your performer application.
