- Singers performing an acapella or accompanied song
There will be a small outdoor stage suitable for small groups or individuals, a larger brick area suitable for instrumental groups or dancers, and a sound system and lights. Performers should be ready for chilly weather, as the event takes place in May. All performances must be family-friendly. Performers may request a certain time between 5 pm and 8 pm if they have limited availability.
