Wellington Buskers Festival

17/02/2024

It's the final day of the festival, but a great chance to come down and enjoy the Lunar New Year Festival at Queens Wharf!
Stop and smell the roses (or the kowhai), and be blown away by Japanese acrobatics.
Plus a couple of surprise performances, and free circus shows by Te Papa. All to help raise funds for the Wellington Free Ambulance.

Heromacro: 10:30am, 12:00pm, 02:00pm.

Saturday 10, 12:00PM*, spend your lunch on the waterfront and enjoy the delicious sounds of Tismo.
Originally from the South Island, her journey up the motu has brought her to Pōneke. This summer she's stepping onto the street and into the limelight. Specializing in acoustic covers, Tismo is bringing delightful range of favorites tunes to the waterfront. She has a song to share for anyone who wants to stop and listen...

Despite some particularly blustery Wellington winds, Mr Wizowski Entertainment (and his fearless stunt-carrot Craig) braved the waterfront last weekend to deliver a show.

We were thrilled to have NZ's loudest mime start the festival with three shows, three bewildered crowds, and three decades of expert-level idiocy. The inimitable Mr Fungus!

Marty & G are patrolling the waterfront this afternoon to keep you sun-safe and sea-monster smart. See if you can spot this dynamic duo from 3pm as they slip, slop, slap themselves silly.
