CliftonFest 2025

The Clifton Cultural Arts Center seeks performers for CliftonFest, an annual celebration of music, art, food, and family fun in the vibrant Ludlow Avenue business district of Gaslight Clifton. Performances will be scheduled for one of two stages, with groups scheduled in 30 – 60 minutes increments on Saturday, September 13 from 10:00 am – 10:00 pm. A basic sound system will be provided; performance groups may supplement the system as needed.

Weather Policy

In the event of inclement weather (light to moderate rain), performances will be cancelled and performers will be paid 50% of the agreed upon performance fee. If there is severe weather, the event will be moved ~100-200 feet to the interior of the Clifton Cultural Arts Center with performances occurring as scheduled.
