Performer Applications Are Closed for 2019

The Festival of Friends is now accepting applications for performers to play both the side stages, as well as limited slots on the main stage. We have taken your feedback to heart, and are no longer partnering with SonicBids. The application process is now free and open to everyone.

Because the Festival receives hundreds of applications every year we have streamlined the process using the form below. If you are interested in playing the 2019 Festival of Friends you must apply using the form. All other applications will be ignored.

Due to the large volume of requests, only successful applicants will be contacted. Please do not flood our e-mail with questions, comments, or unsolicited material. The application window closes June 30th, 2019. Forward all questions to applications@festivaloffriends.ca.

Applications are closed.

While it won't come as a surprise to anyone, we're While it won't come as a surprise to anyone, we're sorry to announce that due to the events surrounding COVID-19, the 2020 Festival of Friends has been cancelled.

While it’s hard to fathom a summer in Hamilton without the Festival of Friends, our priority has to be the health and safety of our employees, volunteers, and attendees. 

Our heart goes out to all the independent local vendors, artisans, and musicians that are facing a lost summer of revenue. If you are able, please search out these businesses and artists and support them whenever possible. They are truly hurting.

In the meantime, stay safe, and to quote the legendary Bruce Cockburn, "We'll meet again, at the Festival of Friends."
Hamilton was lovin’ every minute of it! Thank yo Hamilton was lovin’ every minute of it! Thank you Hamilton for the support this weekend. A big thank you to our volunteers & @timhortons for making this event possible. See you next year, Hamilton!
