2026 NERFA Presenters Showcase
November 12-15, 2026
Presenters Showcases
A Thursday night staple at NERFA, the Presenter Showcase offers a unique platform where our esteemed community of talent curators (e.g. venue presenters, DJs, and promoters) get to shine the spotlight on their favorite lesser-known musicians. This event is not just a showcase, but a celebration of undiscovered talent and the curators who recognize them. Join us for the Presenter’s Showcase and witness firsthand the wealth of talent waiting to be discovered in our vibrant community.
