Talent Wanted: 2023 Celebrate Milford Festival Seeks Local Performers

MILFORD, MA — The search is on for the next Milford idol. The Milford Cultural Council has put out a call for singers, musicians and other creatives to apply to perform at the 2023 Celebrate Milford festival.

Here's more from a cultural council news release:

The MCC is excited to collaborate with the Celebrate Milford Committee to bring performances
that celebrate the diversity of cultures that exist in and around Milford. A portion of the event,
scheduled for May 20, will include featured performers selected by the MCC. The MCC
has allocated funds for the purpose of attracting talented, established singers, dancers, musicians,
and other entertainers.

“The greater Milford area boasts a diverse immigrant community and rich ethnic culture. When
the council expressed a desire to present a program of entertainment that celebrates different
cultures, it seemed a natural fit to partner with the Celebrate Milford committee. We are so
pleased to be collaborating with them to add this new event to Celebrate Milford,” noted MCC
Chair Geri Eddins.

Singers, dancers, and other forms of entertainers that are representative of a cultural community
are sought for the event. Interested performers must apply by March 17. An online
application is available on the Milford Cultural Council website.

The MCC is part of a network of 329 Local Cultural Councils serving all 351 cities and towns in
the Commonwealth. The LCC Program is the largest grassroots cultural funding network in the
nation, supporting thousands of community-based projects in the arts, sciences, and humanities
every year. The state legislature provides an annual appropriation to the Mass Cultural Council, a
state agency, which then allocates funds to each community.

The MCC seeks to promote excellence, inclusion, education and diversity in the arts, humanities,
and sciences to foster a rich cultural experience for all Milford residents. The MCC welcomes
ideas, recommendations, and feedback regarding programs and events funded or sponsored by
the council. Interested Milford residents are encouraged to attend meetings which are held every
third Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. typically in Room 14 of Town Hall. Comments and
requests for information can be emailed to the council at CulturalCouncil@TownofMilford.com.
