Call for Performers

The 2022 Call for Performers is now closed. Please check back in early 2023 for more performance opportunities. The Call for Performers helps the City program arts and cultural performances for special events like the Music @ Concert Series, Dockside Welcomes, and other City of St. John’s hosted Events and Festivals. 

Music @ Concert Series
These performances showcase the incredible and diverse musical talent the City has to offer to both residents and visitors alike. Performances span genres such as jazz, folk, pop and more. Main acts are preceded by a youth performer opening act, coordinated separately through a partnership with the Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Arts Society. Main act performances are approximately 45 minutes long. 

Dockside Welcomes
Programming to welcome cruise ship passengers. An animated introduction to our culture is provided through music, song and/or dance. The program is designed to be informative, entertaining, and engaging while showcasing Newfoundland’s talent.
