On April 30th the Toowoomba Busking Festival will fill the laneways of the CBD of Toowoomba with live music provided by both buskers and bands alike.

The day will begin at 10:00AM with buskers singing and playing music at different places throughout the CBD. There will also be markets open to the public.

Throughout the day 4-5 judges will be secretly accessing the buskers around the CBD and they will pick their top 5 who will then perform and compete on the main stage for a grand prize. At 12 PM the Main Stage will kick off with our first band and soloists of the day taking the stage for a 45 minute to 60 minute set.

Between the hours of 12:00 PM and 6:00 PM the main stage will be running and providing live music for the headquarters of the festival. While this is happening bands and solo artists will also be playing at local pubs and restaurants that we have coordinated with so that the CBD will be quite literally filled with music.

Between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM all busking will stop while the top 5 buskers are contacted for the finals being at 6:00 PM. At the finals all other live music will stop and croweds will be enchouraged to attend the finals at the main stage.

From 6:00 to 7:00 the 5 buskers selected will battle it out for first, second, and third place selected by our judges. Also at this time the “peoples choice” prize will be handed out to the top busker as voted by the people during busking hours.

After the finals, from 7:30PM to 9:00PM 1-2 more bands will take the stage and close the night out.
