Festival Band Application

Our festival draws crowds from across the world looking to enjoy the beautiful dahlias. We want them to enjoy their day amongst the beautiful flowers and best of all the sound and food they can partake in while visiting. We are looking for artists and bands that interact with our guests. Music is offered from 12pm-4pm every Saturday and Sunday during the festival, with peak crowds coming during peak bloom of mid-August to mid-September. The festival is rain or shine and we expect everyone to enjoy what Mother Nature offers and make the most of it! The environment is country casual and the music should fit the crowd of all ages.
