Musical performers of all genres are invited to submit, though they are primarily seeking local and regional acts. Compensation may be possible under certain circumstances, but most acts will play mainly for exposure. Artists can sell merchandise at a fully staffed merch booth. In addition, atists will receive hemp fest tshirts, water and beverages, and access to the VIP tent on the day of the event. Sound system and engineers will be provided.







Variety performers will work in a number of areas throughout the festival site including family, artist and holistic medical areas. Variety performers are invited to send an email of interest, brief description of talent and sample of past work, references, website or other appropriate details. We can imagine face painters, magicians, dance troupes, acrobats, stilt walkers, some of whom would work during stage entertainment, some of whom would provide spontaneous in crowd entertainment during breaks.







Above all, Tacoma Hempfest wishes to portray and include the diversity of cannabis culture. This includes not only arts and entertainment, but also food and merchandise vendors, outreach organizations, healing arts, and industry.
