Auckland’s 16th Annual International Buskers Festival

Auckland’s 16th Annual International Buskers Festival will be showcasing 16 of the most spectacular street performers on earth

The Auckland International Buskers Festival returns for the sixteenth time, to overload your senses, with performers from all over the globe including Israel, New Zealand, Germany, USA, Poland and Australia! Our crazy performers will knock your socks off when you take to the streets of Auckland’s Waterfront and Aotea Square this Anniversary weekend.

Whips, dancing, comedy, big wheels, mime and acrobatics, our performers will leave you mystified and mesmerized. Seb Whipits, a master of whip cracking and whip juggling, wraps up his show with an unbelievable duel fire whip finale; Pogo Fred, a multiple Guinness World Record Holder, puts on an extremely acrobatic pogo stunt show. Fred jumps over 7 feet into the air while performing flips, outstanding tricks, and stunts on his 10 foot tall pogo stick; Beat the Streets show is filled with thrilling breakdancing, acrobatic flipping, rhythmic tap dancing and comedy; and BIG WHEEL SHOW brings one of the biggest circus props in the world to the street!

The Festival is comprised of seven sites spread over Auckland’s Waterfront and the CBD. Sites include Viaduct Harbour, Downtown Shopping Centre, Princes Wharf, Karanga Plaza (Wynyard Quarter), Queens Wharf and our newest site Aotea Square, part of Summer in the Square.

The Festival runs from Friday 29 January to Monday 1 February 2016. Day shows start every day at 12 noon. Night Shows run on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 7.30pm in Market Square, Viaduct Harbour.
