Summary of Street Performer's Guidelines

• Perform only in marked “designated locations.” Stay inside the marked space and keep sidewalks clear. Don’t block emergency exits. 
• Wear your Performer Card during shows. 
• License is required to pick your schedule, use sound gear and sell items. No license? You can still perform during open or unscheduled time slots on a first-come, first-serve basis. 
• Be on time. 30+ minutes late = lost spot. 
• Keep an eye on your equipment. 
• No dangerous props or open flames.
