Inviting Musicians to register
Please note that this year is not a normal "world music day" situation, there will be a preference for groups and music compatible with ongoing use of the street (dining, shopping). This year, the focus is on supporting local business and inviting live music back in our community! We want to recognize that this may require some adjustments to your normal setup and happy to share more details with you.
If you play an instrument or are in a dance group, we want you! Historically, World Music Day is a wonderful celebration of music and community. If you are an amateur, or professional, musician playing solo or in a group interested in performing on World Music Day, please submit an application (see below) to the Palo Alto World Music Day organizers.

Last year we had to cancel the World Music Day because of the pandemic. This year we are thrilled to work with our musicians, local businesses, The City of Palo Alto and the Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce and our many partners to bring back this event in a way that is safe for all.
Please note that:
1) There is no access to electric power. We prefer acoustic sound as opposed to amplified music in order to keep the level of decibels reasonable, as you will have to share the sonic space with other groups. However, if you must have amplification, then please bring your own battery-operated amplifier.
2) There is no stage. This is a street performance.
3) You will need to be self sufficient and bring all that you need for your performance (e.g. chairs) and will be responsible for your own set-up and tear-down.
4) A key aspect of the spirit of World Music Day, aspect which distinguishes it from most other musical festivals, is that it is a free event organized by volunteers with musicians who are not compensated and a public that is not charged. You will, however, have an opportunity, if you wish, to ask for donations and sell your own CDs.
