Fair, Festival & Theme Park Entertainment

Fair and festival entertainment covers the acts and attractions booked to draw crowds at fairs, festivals, parks and consumer shows — thrill shows, animal attractions, strolling entertainment, musical shows, magic and illusions, children’s shows, exhibits and displays, and concessions. It’s often called grounds entertainment or on-grounds entertainment in the industry, distinct from headline grandstand concerts.

Most fair and festival boards begin talent buying six to twelve months ahead of their event, and popular acts and dates fill up early. Capitol’s agents also attend industry conventions like IAFE, WFA and RMAF throughout the year, so booking conversations often start well before an event’s official planning season.

We represent attractions across eleven categories: Thrill Shows, Grandstand Shows, Big Top Circus, Animal Attractions, Strolling Acts, Variety & Stage Shows, Musical Shows, Magic & Illusions, Exhibits & Displays, Children’s Shows, and Concessions — browse them all above.
