The Dunnville Mudcat Festival is seeking talented musicians & artists to perform at our annual community celebration! As a non-profit event, every dollar raised goes directly back into supporting local initiatives, making this a great opportunity to showcase your talent while giving back to the community. 2026 will be Mudcats 50th Anniversary!

We are looking for artists and bands to perform at four exciting events:
• Thursday Evening Country Street Dance – Kick off the festival with two high-energy country acts to get the crowd dancing.
• Saturday Bavarian Gardens – A lively all-day event featuring four musical acts to entertain festivalgoers.
• Saturday Kids Zone – A lively event at Central Park. The performers would participate in the morning parade and then perform onstage for the kids followed by a meet and greet.
• Saturday Car Show – Two performers will provide the perfect soundtrack to this beloved showcase of classic cars.
Whether you’re a local artist looking to connect with the community or a regional performer eager to join the Mudcat tradition, we invite you to apply to be part of our festival lineup. Help us make this year’s Mudcat Festival an unforgettable celebration of music, culture, and community spirit!

Happy Mudcat!
