World Buskers Festival Has Online Preview
This summer’s World Buskers Festival in Christchurch, New Zealand is now previewed online for people keen to get the most from the entertainment on Christchurch’s streets during the 11 day event.
The official 2010 World
Buskers Festival website has been launched (http://http://www.worldbuskersfestival.com)
with details of all the performers attending the festival,
as well as a schedule of when and where around Christchurch
they will be performing.
Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker
says the World Buskers Festival consistently tops the list
of the city’s favourite events.
“Each year, the 10
day festival attracts 300,000 visitors to Christchurch, all
keen to experience the daring and hilarious antics of our
buskers. The Central City comes to a standstill during the
street performances and evening events allow us to secure a
seat right next to the action,” he says.
“With 44
acts, 450 live shows and 500 hours of world class
entertainment this is a festival you’ve just got to
experience,” says festival director Jodi
Wright
“An exciting new music pitch has been added
to the 2010 festival. Plus the circus, street and comedic
talent we’ve assembled for this festival is truly world
class. Check out the schedule so you don’t miss seeing any
of them perform.”
In its 17th year the World Buskers
Festival runs in Christchurch from 21 to 31 January
2010.
