HOW TO PARTICIPATE (Registration is open through June 14, 2025)
You can participate by registering as a performer or a venue! Just login to our registration website and complete or update your profile. You can then use the matchmaking feature to make a match worthy of celebration!
Who is considered a performer? Are you making music of some kind? You’re a performer.
What is considered a venue? It could be your front porch, the sidewalk in front of your business, the front steps of your church, a street corner, a stage in your pub, a park or just about anywhere that can house a musician!
