The Buskers and Street Performers Festival celebrates the street performance talent and culture we have in the city centre.
Street performers from all over the region and beyond take part, performing a diverse range of music and dance throughout the city centre, Christ’s Pieces and Hope Street Yard.
The festival also aims to increase the busking community's awareness of the need to follow the Street Performers' Code of Practice.
No festival in 2012
In light of our commitment to organising additional city-centre events this year, we will not be in a position to organise a busking festival for 2012. We anticipate that the festival will return to the city centre in 2013.
