FNM 2023 - Music/Entertainment

Eureka Friday Night Market is the premier Summer festival in Humboldt County, especially when it comes to the wide array of food vendors that grace the streets of Old Town every week.  With upwards to 5,000 attendees every Market, attendees enjoy a diverse range of artisan vendors, farmers, food providers, an open air street bar, and live music from multiple stages.   For our music guests and performance artists, Friday Night Market is an incredible way to increase your exposure in the community and garner new followers.  With two main stages, one at the Clarke Plaza and the other at the Gazebo Plaza, we book multiple bands each Friday.
 
We do our best to make sure everyone gets placement at the market, but due to very high demand for performance slots we typically run a short waitlist. We keep things as equitable as possible during the Market series, and pay out a flat fee across the board to all performers.  The flat rate for performing bands on the main stages is $300 per gig.  Certain things that my influence the rate of pay based on how much outside support labor we (the organizers) need to hire to support your performance (ie, sound technicians, PA equipment rental, etc.).  Bands/performers are fully allowed to collect tips from the audience during their performance! Performance Artist (non-musical gigs) rates are to be negotiated on a case by case basis. Interested in just busking?  We do allow buskers, HOWEVER you must still complete an application, and you will be scheduled and advised on authorized areas to do so during the time of event.  Busking is UNPAID by the event, but you are welcome to collect gratuity.  Busking is ONLY for single person performers, and no amplification is allowed (no exceptions).  Unauthorized Buskers that show up unannounced will be asked to leave the event area immediately, you must be in contact and coordinate with our team first.
