Get ready for four epic days of street magic, laughs, and jaw-dropping talent!

Auckland’s International Buskers Festival is back from Friday 23 – Monday 26 January, taking over the Waterfront and CBD with non-stop entertainment and good vibes.

From 12pm–7pm daily (Friday 12pm–3pm), the city will be buzzing with incredible acts — think mind-blowing ball tricks, laugh-out-loud comedy, wild circus skills, and even next-level Double Dutch skipping and dance from Britain’s Got Talent Golden Buzzer winners Haribow.

Find buskers popping up all around Auckland’s Waterfront Harbour and the CBD — grab some mates, hit the streets, and get ready to be amazed!

Remember, street performers make their living on your generosity. If you enjoy a show and can afford it, please put a donation in the hat. Loose change is nice, but to really make a difference, paper money would be much appreciated.
