In 2027, the Annapolis Valley Exhibition celebrates an incredible milestone — 100 years of agriculture, entertainment, community and tradition — and we’re looking for talented performers to help us celebrate!

AVEX welcomes thousands of visitors throughout Exhibition week, with live entertainment playing a big part in the experience. From high-energy evening concerts to afternoon performances, family entertainment and unique acts throughout the grounds, there are opportunities for a wide variety of performers.

Why Perform at AVEX?

For a century, the Annapolis Valley Exhibition has brought generations of people together. Our 100th anniversary promises to be an especially memorable year — and a pretty great time to say “I performed at the 100th AVEX.”

Depending on the act and programming needs, performance opportunities may include our Riverside Stage, Arena Stage, licensed pub, family entertainment areas and locations throughout the Exhibition grounds.

We welcome applications from musicians, bands, solo and emerging artists, children’s and family entertainers, cultural performers, dance and performance groups, comedy, magic and variety acts, interactive or roaming entertainers, and other unique performers who can bring something special to the AVEX experience.

Whether you get a crowd singing along, dancing, laughing, cheering or stopping in their tracks to see what happens next — we want to hear from you.
