Entertainment Application FAQs
WHY CAN'T I GET MY FIRST OR SECOND-CHOICE DATE?
The Fair programs events, such as contests or daily shows, which get booked at certain times and on certain stages blocking off dates. For this reason, you might not get your first or second choice. But the more choices you give us, the better chance you’ll be performing!
HOW WILL I KNOW IF I GET BOOKED?
We work on booking acts as soon as the first applications arrive. This is one reason to apply early.
Watch your email and check your spam folder! When we have a spot to offer you, we will contact you by email. All applicants will receive an email with performance confirmation or letting you know you’ve been placed on the waiting list.
WILL THE STAGE MANAGER PLAY MY RECORDED MUSIC?
No. We provide an aux cable for your recorded music ( please make sure you have the appropriate inputs, note that any iPhone 8 and newer will need a dongle cable ), but you will need to provide the person who will play it. Be sure to organize your music for fast play.
