There are three key performance spaces at the Chain of Parks Art Festival: the Main Stage, the Children's Park, and the Chalk Art Oasis to keep visitors entertained all weekend long!
The Festival welcomes a variety of local performers to apply to perform on a volunteer basis. In return, performers receive exposure to thousands of visitors at the festival, a listing in the festival program performance schedule and online schedule with a photo and link to a webpage, inclusion in pre-event marketing campaigns, and to say thank you, a drink ticket for each performer.

Main Stage Entertainment:
Our Main Stage is located in the Center Court on Calhoun St. and features a variety of local bands, aspiring singer/songwriters, dance troupes, and other crowd-pleasing local performing arts groups. This section includes the City's Showmobile and a sound engineer.
Smaller acts are primarily placed in the Children’s Park or the Chalk Artist Oasis. Performers in these areas should be self-sufficient, upbeat, and welcoming. There will be a 10×10 pop-up tent for shade, a powerstrip, and a basic amp only (no sound or loading support). Must have your own equipment!
The Children’s Park:
This is the perfect spot for kid-friendly solo acts and less-music-focused entertainers like storybook tellers, educational demonstrations, performance artists, etc. This is in a grassy, shaded area.
The Chalk Artist Oasis:
We create a nature-themed "oasis" surrounding our professional chalk artists with plants and shade for visitors to observe their progress in a beautiful space (on Calhoun St). We’re looking for solo/ duo performers to set the mood and make this a welcoming area. This is a paved sunny area by a main festival entrance.
