Inside Downtown Businesses

Indoor Live Music All Year Long

The City of Champaign is thrilled to announce the return of our Live Entertainment Grant Program. This program provides funding for live music and entertainment in various unique locations throughout Downtown. Whether it's a solo performance in a bookstore or a rock band in a candle shop, this initiative aims to enhance the arts while supporting local businesses.

About the Program

​

The Sound Check program helps downtown businesses host live entertainment by reimbursing artist fees, sound equipment, and marketing costs. Businesses can receive up to $250 per event, plus an additional $500 Community Connections bonus for events that build community partnerships, highlight diverse voices, or create inclusive experiences.
