Your group will be required to be at the park and ready to perform 30
minutes before you are scheduled to perform. If your group is not ready
to go, we will move on to the next group that is ready.
Length of Performance: Your group will have 30 minutes total to set
up, perform and exit the stage. Please do not bring heavy props or backdrops
that will require a lengthy set-up time.
Musical Equipment: We will provide a sound system to accommodate both
live and recorded music. Please indicate what kind of equipment you will
need (CD player, cassette player, microphones, etc.).
Participation stipend: There will be a stipend provided to all groups
who perform at the festival. On the day of the festival, after your
group performs, please have a representative pick up your check at the
welcome booth from Angela Costa. Unless otherwise directed, we will
make the checks payable to the name of your group.
Participation in Parade: Participation in the Dia de Portugal Parade
is not mandatory, though it is encouraged and appreciated. Please reply
if your group will be able to participate in the parade. Even if
you have already said that you will march in the parade, please re-confirm
your participation as a triple check for us.
INSTRUMENTS: If your group has instruments youll need to store, a
room in the hotel in the park will be provided for you to put your instruments
in until you need them. This is because you CANNOT leave your car
on the park grounds during the festival.
Cancellation: If you suspect that your group will not be able to participate,
please let us know IMMEDIATELY! There will be no penalty for canceling,
but it just makes things more difficult logistically and we appreciate
your consideration.
Artists Area
Signage: Food booths are responsible for your own signage. You might
want to bring extra signage or décor to add flavor and visibility
to your booth.
Panels will be provided and already set up to display your art.
If you require tables and chairs, please reply with what you will need.
All artists will be under the same large canopy, similar to last year.
Artist locations will be assigned by the festival committee. Each
area will have a small sign with the artists name, and that is how you
will know where your area is.
Artists may sell any of their own art. FOOD AND OTHER ITEMS CAN
NOT BE SOLD IN THE ARTISTS AREA!
Artists will be responsible for disposing of all trash in public trash
cans. We will have plenty made available in the artists area. A clean-up
crew will periodically collect trash from trash cans.
Electricity: We can have an electrical outlet made available, however,
you need to indicate all the types of equipment you will be using so we
can ensure that we will provide adequate voltage to your station.

Signage: Artists are responsible for your own signage. You might want
to bring extra signage or décor to add flavor and visibility to
your booth.
Commission Fee: Artists are not charged a participation fee.
However, if an artist sells more than $200 worth of art on the day of the
festival, we require a 10% commission be given to the museum. For
example, if you sell $300 worth of art, you are required to give $30 to
the museum.
