The Performance Fair is a dynamic one-day celebration of the performing arts, featuring simultaneous performances in many venues around Harvard’s campus throughout the day on Saturday, May 1, 2027. The Performance Fair also includes Dancefest, a showcase of over 20 dance styles and traditions. The Performance Fair is always free and open to the public. Some of its stages are also livestreamed.

All Harvard affiliates (undergraduate and graduate students, staff, alumni, faculty, and visiting researchers) are welcome to perform. Priority will be given to undergraduate students, although the OFA will endeavor to provide stage time to as many performers as possible.

Each individual artist may perform in up to three Performance Fair time slots. This includes solo performances as well as performing with ensembles. Time slots are 20 minutes for general performances and 10 minutes for Dancefest showcases.
