Performers interested in being considered for an opening time slot on one of the Riverfest main stages must fill out an application and submit it to Riverfest Inc. by February 1, 2012.  Applicants must include a current CD, DVD or VHS tape of your group or act, a photo and biographical information.  Applications will not be considered without ALL of these items. This application is for local/regional opening acts only.  All national/headline acts for Riverfest are booked through Red Mountain Entertainment.

Each year Riverfest receives more applications than available slots for performers.  If you are not selected and you would be interested in participating in the “Great Arkansas Talent Search” at Riverfest please visit their website at www.thegreatarkansastalentsearch.com.  Riverfest will host a round one competition in this statewide search for the next lucky winner.  Details will be available on The Great Arkansass Talent Search website soon!

Riverfest also has an application process for acts that would like to perform on our Family Stage.  The Riverfest Family Stage hosts unpaid acts including dance groups, gymnastics teams, cheer teams, baton twirlers, martial arts groups, vocalist with pre-recorded accompanying music, vocal acts that do not require drum kits, guitar amps or keyboard amps, etc.  The deadline for Family Stage applications was December 15, 2011.
