Port Macquarie Hastings Council - Expression of Interest (EOI) Busk @ Dusk
Port Macquarie Hastings Council (PMHC) is excited to introduce the Busk @ Dusk event series—a vibrant platform for local musicians, singers, and entertainers to showcase their talents in a well-promoted community setting.
The Busk @ Dusk series will launch in Parks Week 2025 and carry on through the rest of March. During Parks Week 2025, we celebrate our parks and open spaces that bring us together, inspire active lifestyles, and enhance our mental well-being. Parks aren’t just places; they’re vital to our health, happiness, and the vibrancy of our community.
The vision behind Busk @ Dusk is to create a series of relaxed afternoon and evening gatherings where local talent takes centre stage. These events will be held in various scenic locations, inviting the community to bring a picnic, roll out their rugs, and unwind while enjoying live performances. It’s a simple yet meaningful way to activate our beautiful spaces and foster community connections.
Performers will have their profiles featured in promotional materials and the opportunity to raise funds during the event.
We warmly invite Expressions of Interest (EOI) from individuals or groups keen to participate in Busk @ Dusk and join a dedicated buskers register, which may also open doors to future event opportunities.
