BUSKING
Are you a talented busker who loves to entertain crowds with your music, magic, comedy, or art? Do you want to showcase your skills at a fun and lively summer festival? If so, we have an opportunity for you!
We are looking for buskers to perform for an appreciative audience before select performances, which start at 7:30 pm. You are invited to collect tips and donations from the spectators. On the days you are scheduled to perform, you will also receive free water, snacks, and two tickets to that night’s performance!
Due to limited electricity access, you will be required to provide your own power if you need it.
The festival runs from June 27 - July 30. Evening shows run Tuesdays-Saturdays.
If you are interested in this opportunity, please reach out to us with your preferred dates and a brief description. We will review your application and back to you as soon as possible.
VOLUNTEER
Whether you are in school or looking for more opportunities to participate in the arts, volunteering is one of the best ways to become more involved in your community and meet other creative individuals.
There are several positions that are perfect creative and outgoing personalities as well as some more suited for those who just want the experience and community.
