With over 30 performances and 5 stages, the Doylestown Arts Festival has cultivated a strong connection to the local music scene. We are proud to feature acts that range from nationally-acclaimed performers to student groups. There is a $5 donation to apply, which helps us cover our application costs.
The Doylestown Arts Festival is a juried event. Applications must be submitted by the application deadline to be considered for admission. Due to the large amount of requests we receive, not all can be responded to. Inquires and applications sent via email or phone call will not be considered. All applicants must apply using our submission form.
The weekend features 5 stages with over 30 acts of live music. Each of our stages include a protective tent, raised stage floor, and professional sound systems with dedicated techs. Performances are intentionally staggered to provide a well-rounded experience for the entire festival.
Load In
All groups will be provided with detail instructions leading up to the festival, including a point of contact for the weekend. All groups are encouraged to arrive 1 hour before performances. Your point of contact will help you locate parking and will direct stage crew helpers to you. Parking may be limited and several blocks from your stage. Our volunteers will help you navigate the crowds and locate your stage. Please try to arrive in as few vehicles as possible to make logistics easier.
Load Out
Volunteer stage crew members will also assist your group in getting back to your vehicles following your performance. Allot at least 30 minutes to depart after you break down the stage as volunteers are limited.
Requirements
All groups will be expected to provide a stage plot, equipment list, and any other relevant information so our sound crews can properly prepare for your performance. All sound systems are provided by the festival, so groups do not need to bring their own sound equipment. All groups are expected to arrive on time. Arriving late may result in your performance being cancelled.
Weather Policy
Our festival goes on, rain or shine! In the rare and unfortunate case of extreme weather we would cancel the affected day(s). We are not able to have a rain date due to the location and permits of our festival.
