Kansas Sampler Festival
ENTERTAINER & HISTORIC PERFORMER INFORMATION
The reason for rotating the festival is to give exhibitors statewide exposure, to give the public in every part of the state a chance to experience the festival, and to give each host city a chance to showcase themselves to a statewide audience.
ENTERTAINMENT CRITERIA
This is a juried portion of the festival. All entertainers will submit an online application to be approved by the festival host selection committee. Entertainers selected to perform will be contacted by February 1, 2010.
- All entertainers must presently live in Kansas.

The festival seeks diverse performers and especially those that promote an ethnic culture or represent a slice of Kansas life.

equipment and technician will be provided at each stage.

IMPORTANT CHANGE:
The entertainment portion of the festival changed in 2009. The
festival will feature six entertainment acts each day with an allotment
of 45 minutes to perform once on Saturday and once on Sunday. Due to
this change we will be limited to the amount of entertainers being
accepted to perform.
