WANT TO PLAY LOCALSFEST?

We're always looking for great local artists to be part of the LocalsFest family.
 

True to our name, local comes first. When building our lineup, we prioritize bands and artists based in Venice and our immediate surrounding area. From there, we gradually widen our search geographically throughout Southwest Florida and beyond.
 

Being local isn't the only thing we consider... we're looking for great live performers who bring something special to the festival and help us showcase the incredible music being made in our community.
 

2026 APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED
 

The LocalsFest 2026 lineup has officially been selected. All applications submitted at this time will be considered for LocalsFest 2027.

We listen to every submission. Let's hear what you've got.
