Bring Your Talent to The 47th Annual Cabbagetown Festival

Since 1976, The Cabbagetown Festival has transformed our historic streets into a vibrant celebration of music, art, food, and community. In 2026, we’re building an unforgettable lineup for over 100,000 visitors and we want performers who bring energy, originality, and heart. Join us for one of Toronto’s longest-running and most beloved street festivals.

Who We’re Looking For

We are currently seeking performers and entertainers of all kinds, including:

• Musicians, bands, solo artists
• DJs
• Dancers and cultural performance groups
• Drag and performance artists
• Circus performers (stilt walkers, jugglers, acrobats, fire performers)
• Interactive entertainers (magicians, caricaturists, face painters)
• Family-friendly activations
• Unique roaming performers
• And creative acts that don’t fit neatly in a box

If you can animate a street, captivate a crowd, or create a memorable moment, we want to hear from you!
