Discover the Buzz: World Buskers Festival Returns to Christchurch

Ōtautahi Christchurch is gearing up to host the World Buskers Festival from 24 January to 2 February 2025. This beloved 10-day event, now in its 32nd year, has become a highlight of the city’s cultural calendar.

This year’s festival is set to attract over 100,000 visits (approximately 30,000 individual visitors), making it a prime opportunity to maximise foot traffic and sales in the late January summer season. With the festival’s buzz already in the air, now is the time to prepare for an influx of activity across the city.

Festival Highlights

This year, the World Buskers Festival promises over 300 dynamic performances spread across 12 iconic locations:

  • Altiora
  • Bentley Bus
  • Cathedral Square
  • Club Lane
  • Isaac Theatre Royal
  • James Hay Theatre
  • Roy Stokes Hall
  • Scott Statue
  • The Bridge of Remembrance
  • The Great Hall
  • The North Quad
  • The South Quad

With performances running from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. most days, expect an eclectic mix of international stars, local talent, and curated acts that celebrate Māori and Pasifika cultures. The festival’s diverse lineup offers something for everyone, ensuring an engaging experience for all attendees.

Get Involved

Now’s the time to prepare and make the most of this bustling event. The World Buskers Festival team have pulled together a digital asset pack to help you make the most of the festival hype. Inside, you’ll find everything from social media graphics to posters and email banners – all designed to help you promote the festival and encourage more foot traffic through your doors.
