ONE of Streetlight’s primary functions is to make it easy

for emerging street performers to just get out there. 

Our permits are easy, our fees are low, our encouragements are many.

A PERFORMER is anyone who wants to go out on the street by themselves--or in tandem with other performers--to perform. (A PARTICIPANT, on the other hand, is a school group or established ensemble that performs at a pre-arranged place and time.)

With a Streetlight permit, the performer is free to perform as many times as they would like at any approved location (see City Document for details about locations,           

                                                                               then do a search for “Street Performers” in

                                                                               the Search Box).

Streetlight Permits cost $10 each, $5 for students, and are good for one year.

SO WHAT KIND OF PERFORMERS

ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

The kind that wants to show off their stuff . . .

and the kind that needs to show off their stuff,

whether they feel like it or not!

An experienced street performer once said,

“An hour on the street is worth a month in the practice room.”

Nothing teaches you how to perform like performing.
