Applications for the 2023-2024 festival season are now closed.

Performers
If you are a performer or artist looking to get involved with a range of fun and exciting community events then we would love to hear from you.
Each year we present a range of community events. With elements such as main stage performances and roving performances we are always on the lookout for local talent.
We appreciate your interest and will endeavour to include as many artists and performers as possible into our event program. However we cannot guarantee that every Expression of Interest will be successful.
