Summary
The 37th Annual Oktoberfest will be held on Sunday, October 12th, 2014 from 12 - 6:00pm throughout five blocks in the heart of Harvard Square (rain date is October 13th). The event is attended annually by well over 200,000 people. Oktoberfest also features a parade from the HONK! Festival in Somerville to the Oktoberfest bringing even bigger crowds to Harvard Square for the day.
The Opportunity
Oktoberfest features five stages of live entertainment, music, dance, art, street performances and 200+ artisans and merchants offering handmade, vintage, recycled, costume, antique, and sidewalk sale items.
The festival is a great opportunity for artists to get exposure through Oktoberfest's press coverage both in print and on-line. Oktoberfest also offers artists year-round visibility on our site and tables at the event to sell merch all day!
The Band
All genres are accepted; however, this is a family-friendly event so music must be family-friendly to be considered.
Notable past performers include Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Chester French, and many other local artists of note.
The Gig
Oktoberfest will feature between 9 and 12 artists playing the event across 3 different stages.
Set length for selected artists will be 45 minutes.
A drum kit, mic stands, PA, and sound engineer will be provided at each stage and artists are encouraged to play a fully plugged in set.
