Southland Buskers Festival 2018
Welcome to the 9th annual Southland Buskers Festival!
One of the region’s most accessible and entertaining events. We’re pleased to be back with a fantastic line-up of highly skilled street and circus performers including The Mighty Mike Show (CAN), The Old Time Rags (UK), Bex in Motion (CAN), The Red Trouser Show (USA), Mr Qwirk (NZ), Tianna the Traveller (CAN), Vinyl Burns aka Kim Potter (NZ) and 3 Ring Riot (NZ).
The 2018 Festival kicks off Thursday, 1st February at 6pm with the first of three ILT Busker Cabaret Shows (Queen’s Park, band rotunda area), and we’ll continue the fun and action throughout the day and evening until Sunday afternoon 4th February.
A big THANK YOU to our great supporters and sponsors for helping us stage the annual Southland Buskers Festival.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
