COMMUNITY PERFORMANCE

ANYONE!!! If you would like to show off your talents, you are more than welcome to apply. We try to book as many acts as possible. When we book, we do it on a first come first serve basis.

You can apply online HERE. Applications are open now. The deadline to apply is May 1, 2025.

You will need to provide:

• Name of the organization (if applicable)
• Contact name
• Mailing address (this is for all of your passes)

The Family Fun Fest / Riverside County Fair does not sell your information and it is used solely for the purposes of the community stage.

Yes, you will also need to know:

• Type of Group. (School Affiliated, Dance School, Band, Solo Act)
• Type of Performance. (Marching Band, School Band or Orchestra, Stand Up/Storytelling, Dance/Cheerleading, Band/Musical Act)
• Number of performers.
• Number of directors (this number needs to include chaperones too).
• Number of vehicles. This number needs to be the number of vehicles used to transport the performers that you will need parking passes for. We are sorry, but we are not able to provide passes for all parents, friends, and family members coming to the performance.
• Number of equipment vehicles. These are vehicles that are used to haul equipment that will need close access to the stages. These passes are NOT for passenger vehicles. There is a limit of 2 passes per group.
• Number of chairs if applicable.

This will vary by year, but we try to give as many people the opportunity to perform as possible. We try to have everyone perform only once. Typically, the only time someone will perform more than once is if there is a cancellation. If there are performance slots still available as we near the dates of the Family Fun Fest / Riverside County Fair, we will announce on our social media pages and website that you can apply again.

All our stages will have an aux cable (headphone jack). Music on an MP3 device or iPhone 8 and newer will need to bring their own dongle cable to plug into our system. Be sure to bring a backup.

No. We provide an aux cable for your recorded music ( please make sure you have the appropriate inputs, note that any iPhone 8 and newer will need a dongle cable ), but you will need to provide the person who will play it. Be sure to organize your music for fast play.

Performers who have heavy equipment, props and costumes may request assistance from our cart base. You will need to put a request in on your final booking form. This may incur an additional fee for staffing.

Musical Groups: You will need to bring your personal performance equipment, such as guitars, drums, etc. There is a full sound system at each stage.

Dance Groups: You can bring costumes, props (by approval) music, etc.

No. Soliciting tips during your performance is not allowed. If you solicit tips in any way, your performance will be cancelled and the violation will affect future bookings.

Yes, there is a limit of (25) performers allowed for (1) performance. Due to the stage size there is also a limit on number of performers on the stage at any time.

No. We provide Fair access credentials to all performers. Parking will be limited to up 1 parking Passes. Performers under the age of 18 will be allowed (1) chaperone to accompany them, and the chaperone will also receive a Fair credential. If you would like to enjoy the carnival and other entertainment options, that would be at your own expense.

Each group performing at the Fair will receive (1) parking pass. We have limited parking space on grounds and encourage carpooling, mass transportation and rideshare options.

*Additional parking passes can be purchased online and in advance on our website or through our [email protected] email address.

Yes. Performers may enter the Fair at our entertainment & vendor entrance checkpoint.

All entrances have security checkpoints and are also open to the public, so please plan accordingly — arrive early and have your Fair credential readily available.

Please let us know ahead of time so that we can give others a chance to perform in that time slot. If credentials were mailed to you, please mail them back. If you don’t send credentials back you will no longer have the chance to perform at the Family Fun Fest / Riverside County Fair in future years.

The Family Fun Fest / Riverside County Fair is open rain or shine, and we expect the same of our stages!

*In the event of high-risk weather for the safety of your performance, we will ask you to stop performing until it is safe. If this interrupts your performance we will try our best to rebook with what is available.
