The Noosa Busking Championships are back in 2022 for their fifth year at the Sounds of Noosa Foreshore event.
On Saturday 9 July, the Noosa Foreshore will come alive for a fantastic free live music event, where talented and aspiring performers take to the Noosa River banks for a variety of street performances keeping audiences entertained for hours.
From 8:30am to 2:30pm the Noosa River Foreshore along Gympie Terrace doubles as a stage for a wonderful array of artists who will rotate at busking stations dotted along the River performing for passers by.
Whilst the genres, talent and music will differ, the performers have a common goal – to get your foot tapping and your smile happening.
There is an opportunity for spectators to vote in the People’s Choice Award by buying busking dollars from the token stands.
All money from token sales goes towards the Rotary ‘Noosa & Hinterland Flood Relief’ Charity to support those in the Gympie region affected by the recent floods.
The finals begin at 4pm on the Main Stage at Lions Park (Pirate Park). So grab a sausage from the Lions food van and settle in to witness finalists perform.
Top prizes are on offer for such categories as Open, Primary and Secondary Students, Bands, Special Judges Awards and People’s Choice Award to name a few.
Tim Rook from Noosaville Business Association said, “We are excited to be involved with this event again in conjunction with Rotary Noosa after last year was such a success.”
“We were able to donate $5,000 to Sunshine Butterflies as our 2021 chosen charity, which was used to purchase a golf buggy to assist in transporting disability members around their property.
“This Saturday will be an awesome live music event supporting the Hinterland Flood Relief whilst showcasing local and aspiring talent.
“We’ve seen amateurs grow into both paid and signed artists from this event, so it’s well worth a look.”
Stroll along the Noosa Foreshore and check out the 20 stations along the river or spread your picnic rug and relax to the tunes as buskers come and go – you may just witness a superstar in the making.
