Does your band have what it takes to play at the Quick Chek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning, the largest summertime hot air balloon and music festival in North America?

Last year three local bands were lucky enough to be chosen to play the Main Stage during the Festival weekend – the same stage that has been graced by rock legends and Hall of Fame musicians such as The Beach Boys, Peter Frampton, The Doobie Brothers, Kenny Loggins, and the Gin Blossoms plus up-and-coming teen sensations the Jonas Brothers and Disney’s Demi Lovato.

We pride ourselves on providing our attendees with non-stop family entertainment and we’re always on the lookout for new talent to add to our lineup to entertain our 175,000 attendees.

With our close proximity to New York City and Philadelphia, the Quick Chek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning is the perfect venue to serve as a backdrop for a performance in front of talent agents and scouts who, along with the media in attendance, makes it a perfect resume builder.

Genres accepted include Classic Rock, Jazz, Blues, Reggae, Alternative, Oldies, and Children’s music. Please note that we have a limited number of performance slots available. Due to the overwhelming demand, we are not able to receive submissions at the Festival office. All interested performers should submit their entry online at www.sonicbids.com/balloonfest. Deadline for submission is July 1, 2009
