Help launch the 1st annual Talent Show!

We are looking for musicians of all sorts to participate in this FREE music festival.

Performance spaces are spread along a walk-about loop throughout downtown Talent, creating a vibrant ‘block-party’ feel.

Performances spaces are outdoors.

Acoustic or minimally-amplified performances are required. No sound support is provided.

All ages and skill levels are welcome to apply.

No artist fees this year, but busking is encouraged.

(We are starting on a shoe-string budget.)

Chairs, ice water, & electricity provided.

2025 Talent Show Artist Application

FAQs

How can I sign up to be in the 2025 Talent Show line up?

Any interested musician/music group can fill out the musician application here. The application is open until June 16th. Participation depends on if the applicant is available for a performance spot that is still open.

Can other performers besides musicians invited to apply?

Since this is our first year, we are going to keep it streamlined and focus on musicians and music groups. We definitely will keep the option open in the future after we’ve got a good foundation set.

Is this an event for vendors & how can I apply?

There are 2 food truck spots, 1 ‘treat’ vendor and 1 n/a beverage vendor spot to fill, with a minimal vendor fee of $75 for food vendors and $50 for ‘treat’ & n/a beverage vendors. All vendor fees will be used to market the event. Email if interested.

Who is playing at the 2025 Talent Show?

The 2025 Talent Show Music Festival line up will be announced Monday, June 16, 2025 at the top of our homepage. Follow us on Instagram or Facebook and/or sign up for our email list to be the first to receive the announcement.

Where are the music stages located?

We will be posting an event map by June 1, 2025 with all stages, food truck locations, bathroom locations, & open restaurants listed.

Is this a dog-friendly event?

Leashed dogs are welcome in all open public spaces (e.g. sidewalks, parks, outdoor seating at restaurants). This event is at the end of June; please be aware that pavement temperatures are often 20 degrees (or more) hotter than the ambient temperature - make sure your pup has access to water and doesn’t burn their paws!

Can my business sponsor this event?

Yes! Sponsorship is welcome - especially as we work to get this event foundation set for a long, successful future. Any sponsorship support will help provide event marketing, maps, and signage. Email Ana Byers to find out more.
