25.01.2022 We're up against the heavy hitters tonight at the Australian Event Awards, after becoming a finalist for Best National Event of the Year. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank each and every single one of our past partners, performers, suppliers, volunteers and family and friends for helping to keep the dream alive! Bring on 2021! See you on the Sunshine Coast, WHERE MAGIC HAPPENS

25.01.2022 Back where it all began, in 2014! We're coming up to Buskers time, so we thought we'd start sharing some of our past pics to keep our spirits high! Thanks to all those who continue to keep swarming our inboxes with photos, letters or support and past memories!... Stay tuned for our 'Side Street' event calendar. One event you won't want to miss features The-Space-Cowboy and his art collection of freaky side show animals, to be held at NightQuarter once our borders re-open. HAPPY DAYS!

23.01.2022 Remember when Tones And I won our Battle of the Buskers? Remember when we won best live music event at the Gold Coast Music Awards? Remember when Ruby Rubberlegs sprinkled her superwoman powers? Remember when we set the BMX and skateboards alight and took fireworks to a whole new level? Remember when it poured with rain, yet you still came out in force?... Remember when Adam Brand stepped back into his busking boots? This weekend we were supposed to be creating even more magic memories! And storms are forecast.....
