What to do?

Walk around and enjoy yourself! If you wish, visit the Busking HQ at 27 Lonsdale Street (outside the Nibu Building) and buy yourself a swag bag, and some tokens to give to your favourite Busker.

Tokens and Busking Competition

You can also buy tokens online here, for pick up at the HQ (bring your email receipt; online sales close Friday 28). You may also see our volunteers selling tokens across the Braddon streets (see guide).

Alongside ‘voting’ for your favourite performer you can also give them a tip for their performance if you wish.

Finalists for the People’s Choice and Judges Awards will perform at the Bentspoke BrewPub on Mort Street from 3pm. The beer garden will be set aside for performers and the Festival audience.

Artist Gathering

For the first time this year, the Busking Festival is joined with the Artist Gathering. Various artists will be displaying their works; you can meet and chat with them and exchange contact details. It’s a great way to discover new art!

Photo competition

We’re running a photography competition! Come to the Festival, take some photos, post them on social media, tagging us in (we’re on Facebook, Instagram and X), or use the tag #BraddonBF.

Then after the Festival, send us your best photo.

Winner gets a $50 voucher from Better Music.

And most important of all – enjoy yourself!
