Perform on the Farmers' Market's Sweet Beet Stage
Music can add a lot to the market scene. We are happy to have some of Calgary's most talented musicians perform for you during market hours, whether we're indoors or out. We're also happy to provide a venue for those just starting out - there's no need to be a professional.
If you're interested in performing at the Farmers' Market, here's what you have to do. First, have a look at the calendar below and see if there's a spot you're available to fill. We ask that you choose a two hour time slot, either 3-5pm, or 5-7pm. The Farmers' Market is indoors from 3-7pm every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the winter months, from October 28th, 2015 to May 4th, 2016.
Once you have a date in mind, fill out the application form below with some basic information and the date and time you'd like to play. Our Music Coordinator, Rusty, will get back to you with confirmation and more information soon.
Please remember, musicians are not compensated by the Farmers' Market but rely on the donations of market goers. Bring a hat!
