Entertainment Application

Are you interested in playing or entertaining at the Georgia Apple Festival? Please fill out this application to be considered.

PLEASE READ: Let me get the money part out of the way. As a non-profit fundraising event, we do not have a huge entertainment budget and that usually leaves us about $500 per act. The nature of the event lends itself best to smaller, acoustic shows. After a few years of having live entertainment again we have discovered that trying to do multiple acts during the festival just doesn't fit our needs and is hard on the performers dealing with load in, setup, and tear down. We prefer to have one act play through the day allowing them to take breaks as they wish. The festival hours are Saturdays 9-6 and Sunday 9-5. We ask for acts to be able to play from 11-4 on Saturday and 11-3 or 4 on Sunday. Bands typically take about 3 breaks and we have a few options for food to offer. Playing repeat songs is allowed and understood. It is a long day and we appreciate your effort. More on setup, parking, and interest upon approval into the festival.
 
The stage area is small but the music is piped through our speaker system all around the park. We do have a board that you will just “plug into” and a sound manager who can/will assist with set up along with balancing and mixing sound during your sets. While we have a few cables and mics, we recommend bringing them and any other equipment you may need.
 
We hope to make entertainment selections by the end of March at the latest.
