North Bay Summer Performers Call Out 2026

City of North Bay seeks local performers, artists, and entertainers for summer concert series and arts events at the waterfront.

The City of North Bay is issuing a call out for local performers, artists, and entertainers to showcase their talents at the Kiwanis Bandshell during the summer of 2026. This is an excellent opportunity for local talent to perform in front of thousands of residents and visitors to the North Bay waterfront.

Two main event series are accepting submissions:

1. Summer Concert Series: Takes place on select Wednesday evenings from June 17 to September 9, 2026. These events feature live music and entertainment throughout the summer season.

2. Arts and Culture Nights: Takes place on select Tuesday evenings from June 23 to September 3, 2026. These events bring arts, culture, and live performances to the waterfront.

Both event series attract thousands of attendees each summer and provide a valuable platform for local talent to gain exposure and be seen and heard by a large audience.

Selected artists will be compensated for their performances. The submission period is currently open and will remain open until 8 p.m. on February 20, 2026. A review committee will evaluate all submissions and select performers for the season based on merit and fit with the events.

Interested performers should visit the official submission portals to apply and learn more about the opportunities. Sponsorship opportunities are also available for individuals and organizations interested in supporting these community events.
