Upcoming Sound Check Performances TBA
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.
The grant aims to deliver diverse entertainment options for visitors and residents, provide performance opportunities for local artists, and enhance overall downtown vibrancy.
The next round of Live Entertainment Grants will be launching in September 2026.
