The Buskers Are Back!

The 2022 Busker Festival is back starting today and it’s taking place this year on both sides of Halifax Harbour.

You can now find stages and fun on the Halifax Waterfront and Alderney Landing in Dartmouth.

After a tumultuous two years with a virtual festival and reduced capacity shows, the Halifax Busker Festival has plans to celebrate the reopening by coming back bigger than ever with an expansion to the Dartmouth Waterfront.

The Dartmouth side will include the ever-popular midway rides and international busker and music performances at Alderney Landing and Ferry Terminal Park.

Halifax will feature three action-filled busker performance stages and food and craft vendors by the Maritime Museum, the Wave and the Salt Yard Too.

New to the Halifax side is the family-friendly Glow Funland located along the renovated boardwalk by the Salt Yard.

Electrifying performers will take to multiple stages for six days of incredible international and local performances.

The All Star Show takes place this Sunday night at the Grand Oasis Stage at Grand Parade ​Located in front of Halifax’s City Hall.

The Buskers festival typically sees over 250,000 visitors annually!

Enjoy the return of the Buskers, a Halifax summertime tradition since 1987.
