What is paid to individual acts is none of our business and probably varies by act depending on popularity, group size and past experience. That is a private business transaction between the group responsible for the entertainment programs and the performing groups, just as with any other performing arts venue. I assume there is an annual budget allocation that can be found in the various financial/budget reports that are made public by the amenity/CDD/etc. from the groups responsible for funding the entertainment program. Entertainment on the squares is funded through a combination of sources including merchants, Sumter County tourist fees fund, and who knows what else.
