March 1st 2025
The Buskers are coming, the busking stations are ready and our judges can't wait to get amongst it! Come enjoy a day of fabulous entertainment along the main street of Stanthorpe!
Don't forget to vote for your favourite performance by purchasing "Busking Tokens" and then placing one (or as many as you like) in the performer's specially marked bucket. Tokens are available from various stations up and down the main street.
