Do you have an act to delight the masses at SLC's Busker Fest?
Busker Fest will be held on Friday, May 30 (6 - 10 pm) and Saturday, May 31 (3 - 10 pm) on Block 70—Main Street between 100 and 200 South and McCarthey Plaza.
We are seeking groups and individuals to perform during the festival. There are spaces for circle acts and street acts. Circle acts are typically 30 - 40 minute “shows” in a busker pitch where the performer draws a crowd, performs their show and pitches for tips. We have three circles (or pitches) we will be programing during the event. Street acts will be scheduled in one-hour increments. These are for musicians and other performers that draw from the walk-by traffic. Street acts are most typically improv musical performances and/or acts like street poetry or magic. We also consider street art like caricatures, palm reading, live art demos.
These are paying gigs and a chance to build our city's busking scene, thanks to the Salt Lake City Arts Council for support the spontaneous and expressive nature of street performance.
Complete the form below to tell us a bit about your act. We are open to new and established acts. Provide links that show your existing work. If it’s a new act, do your best to describe fully what you propose for the festival. We invite your creativity and oddity, entertain us! __________________________________________________________________________________
