Application for Use of Performance Area Market Square & Market Area

The Cambridge Farmers’ Market is always looking for local talent to perform at the market and would welcome the opportunity for you to display your talents. Please read through the guidelines below and fill out this application form if you are interested in busking at the Cambridge Farmers’ Market.

Only approved buskers are allowed to perform at the Cambridge Farmers’ Market.

Two buskers are assigned per Saturday from April to December Please note there is no busking indoors all performance spaces are located outside in the Market Square.

Buskers are allowed to perform a maximum of two Saturday’s per month. This allows the Market to showcase a variety of local talent over the course of each month.

Market staff will assess all applications and schedule buskers. Market staff will confirm approved dates with buskers. If you need to cancel a scheduled performance we ask that you contact market staff as soon as possible so a replacement can be found.

Buskers are asked to perform between 9:30-11:30a.m - this is the peak of our market. A space will be allocated to you for that time and we ask that you are flexible, buskers may need to be moved due to other initiatives, and unforeseen circumstances.

Musical performances are to be non-powered. No amplification is allowed. The sound should be a background sound for passersby to enjoy and should not be treated as a concert to be heard over a large space. The level of sound impacts our vendor’s ability to communicate with their customers, and our resident’s ability to chat with each other. The market is a community gathering place that fosters conversations.
