Event details
This summer the streets of Ōtautahi Christchurch come alive with laughter, spectacle, and the kind of unexpected moments that make the World Buskers Festival one of our most loved festivals.
From Friday, 23 January to Sunday, 1 February 2026, across the five city pitches and two pop-up locations, the festival blends the best of international street talent with the creativity and spirit of homegrown performers.
Expect jaw-dropping acrobatics, cheeky comedy, world-class circus acts, and unforgettable moments in every corner of the central city.
