Community performer applications

Applications will be open October 7, 2025 - November 7, 2025 at 5 p.m.

To participate as a community performer, an application must be submitted. While performances are completely voluntary, they provide a wonderful opportunity to showcase community groups and local talent.

A completed application is required for any group or individual wishing to perform.
City staff will review applications and select performers; not all applicants will be invited, and selected groups will be contacted with next steps.
Community performances are free, 20–30 minutes in length, with final scheduling determined by City staff.
