CliftonFest 2026

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 on multiple stages throughout the day on Saturday, September 26 as early as 10:00 am to 10:00 pm or later. A basic sound system will be provided; performance groups may supplement the system as needed.

Weather Policy

If there is severe weather, the event will be moved to the interior of the Clifton Cultural Arts Center (roughly 100 feet down the road) with performances occurring as scheduled. In the event of inclement weather that causes performances to be cancelled, performers will be paid 50% of the agreed upon performance fee.
