Exposure to the audience of Central Washington
can help you in many ways, and we will help you in any way we can. Participation in the festival will count on your
behalf when we choose performers for our concert series, as well as exposing your act to other venues in Yakima, such as the
Central Washington State Fair.

As is customary, we do not pay at festival time ...sorry. However, we will aggressively
support the musician in any way we can—In most cases we will provide free motel lodging (performers more than 2 hrs
from Yakima OR Gas mileage. We always provide Saturday breakfast and mid-day meal, a fully staffed sales booth to sell
your recordings (we take no cut of sales), and we’ll get a crowd.
Tape and CD sales at our concert series are very good—often doubling the guarantee! If someone
sees a performance they like in Seattle, they will remember the name so they can catch them again. Out here in culture-hungry
Yakima, if you see a performance you like, you take the music home because, otherwise, you may never get to hear it again.
