Applications for the 2024 Festival have now closed.

| Artisan The Artisan stall category is for designers, makers and artists whose products are original, of high quality, well presented and made entirely in Australia. Items sold at the stall must be bespoke and made by the artist. Artisan stalls provide an opportunity to ‘meet the maker’ so we are looking for makers who are willing to personally attend the festival. Each year we see a diverse range of artisans at the festival creating unique pieces for sale and often providing an entertainment experience for crowds as artworks are crafted on site. Works created include leather belts, dog leads, upcycled jewellery made from household items along with art works on canvas, saw blade and Perspex created with brush, spray can and palette knife. |

| Busking
Busking is one of the most anticipated aspects of the Festival each year - up to 400 buskers performing on Tamworth’s “Boulevard of Dreams” in Peel Street. Some of the buskers are here in the hope that they’ll be spotted for their talent and follow in the footsteps of some of country’s biggest stars, however, are just here to experience all the fun and excitement of the Festival. Whatever your reason for busking, get ready to register for one of the biggest busking events in the world! The definition of busking is 'the activity of playing music in the street or another public place for voluntary donations.' |
