2026 Buskers Fest Artist Application

  • Buskers Fest 2026 - Application

    Creatives of all types are welcome to use this form to apply for the event.

  • You must read the event policies before filling out and submitting this registration form.

    Buskers Fest is set for 2026! Mark your calendars for September 12th from 1-5pm!

    There are several changes this year, which you can learn about through the policies. Most notably, we will be implementing a registration fee moving forward. There is no fee to apply, but a fee will be required upon acceptance of your application to secure your seat. 

    Early Registration (May 5 - May 31):

    • Artists: $35 acceptance fee
    • Musicians/Performers/Special Engagement: No fee

    Regular Registration (June 1 - June 30):

    • Artists: $55 acceptance fee
    • Musicians/Performers/Special Engagement: $10 fee

     

  • Why Registration Fees?

  • Previously, grant funding allowed us to offer free registration for this event and helped absorb some of the costs. Unfortunately, that funding is no longer available.

    Organizing a festival of this scale takes significant time, coordination, and administrative support to accommodate as many creatives as possible. We’ve worked to keep fees lower than many similar events in order to remain as accessible as possible.

    Early registration is encouraged and offered at a lower rate, as vendor placement becomes more limited as participation increases. Musicians and performers are especially encouraged to register early, as they are typically placed first.
