Performing at ClubFest

Performing at ClubFest

We are looking for performance groups at ClubFest! Your organization does not need to be part of the session in order to perform, but it is a great way to reach a large audience and spread awareness about your performing group.

  • Performance time is limited to 8 minutes (this includes set-up and clean-up time).
  • There are a total of 24 slots available (12 in each session).
  • Performance slots are limited and will be offered on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED basis.
  • Sound and stage will be outside on the Arts Quad (inside Barton Hall if raining) and will be provided by Sound on Sound Productions. Please note that in previous years sound checks have NOT been available.
  • Stage dimensions are 32' x 20'.

ClubFest performance registration will close on FRIDAY, AUGUST 30th at 11:55 PM. ONE member of your organization must submit the form.

Accommodations & Accessibility

For accommodations for any student who may not be able to attend (for any reason- sensory, religious, family, work, etc.), we are committed to our additional resources for students to get connected:

  • Prior to ClubFest, we collect contact information and preferred reach-out from tabling groups to share out in a directory before and after ClubFest, including any interest form usually available at ClubFest as well as any first interest meeting.
  • We advertise additional involvement/resource fair events happening at the start of the semester: Spirit of Cornell, Professional Fraternity Fair, Service Fair, etc.
  • We remind tablers, specifically in the fall, to be flexible in how they are collecting interested student info day-of, offering to write down contact info as needed and to advertise a space where students can sign up after the date.
  • We offer a sensory-limited space at ClubFest for folks to take a break and recharge as needed. This may look different between venues: Arts Quad (a space of grass further away from the action) or Barton (a separate space away from the main event)
  • We encourage all students to check out the extensive directory on CampusGroups and contact groups if interested.

ClubFest is sponsored and organized by the Willard Straight Hall Student Union Board and the Campus Activities office.
