The Downtown Chico Business Association (DCBA) is dedicated to promoting a vibrant, inclusive, and economically thriving downtown through signature events that celebrate community and creativity. Arts and culture are central to our mission and vision, playing a vital role in creating memorable experiences for both Chico residents and the many visitors who attend DCBA events throughout the year.

 
DCBA signature events provide a unique platform for musicians and performers to share their talents with large, diverse audiences in a lively downtown setting. This is your opportunity to showcase your artistry, connect with the Chico community, and contribute to the creative energy that defines our events. 

We invite solo artists, bands, and musical groups of all genres to apply. There are multiple performance opportunities available across DCBA events, and we encourage talented musicians to take advantage of the chance to perform in front of enthusiastic crowds. 

Please complete the application below and provide as much information as possible, including social media links, press kits, YouTube or video samples, and other relevant materials to help us better understand and promote your work. Be sure to indicate which DCBA signature events you are interested in performing at.

 
We sincerely appreciate your interest in performing at DCBA events and thank you for sharing your talent with us. 

All submissions will be carefully reviewed by the DCBA team. While we truly appreciate and encourage interest from all performers, placement is limited and selections will be made at the discretion of DCBA based on event needs, available performance slots, and budget considerations. Please note that only select events include paid performance opportunities, and compensation, when offered, is modest and determined by DCBA, a nonprofit organization. Not all applicants will be selected. Performers who are chosen will be contacted directly by the DCBA team to discuss next steps.
