BREAD & CIRCUS World Buskers Festival returns to Christchurch in January 2024
As one of the best loved and most attended events in the NZ summer calendar, Bread & Circus 2023 attracted bigger crowds to its vibrant busking pitches than ever before. Over 17 frenetic days and 294 performances, 58 uniquely talented artists showered the streets of Christchurch with more colour, chaos and charisma than should probably be legal.
With a program that blends home-grown talent, festival favourites, and fresh faces from far-flung locations, the 2024 line-up will again see comedians, musicians, dancers, acrobats, trapeze artists, magicians and more take to the streets and stage.
