The 8th annual Applause Street Theatre & Buskers Festival hits the streets of Albury on Saturday 17th October from 11am - 6pm.

Applause 2008 was hailed "the best Applause ever", as everything came together for a brilliant mix of circle shows, music, amateur performers, pavement art, community activities and circus skill workshops. As the only street festival of its kind held annually in Albury, the audience welcome and love of the event is almost as warm as the weather!
The festival will again this year welcome several guest artists with international busking experience. As our program is finalised, we'll let you know who to expect, but be prepared to be blown away by extreme talent and large quantities of silliness.

Applause also provides a wonderful opportunity for festival buskers to come along and perform throughout the day. We'll have 3 dedicated performance sites for these acts who range in age from 6 - 66 and everything in between. Festival buskers do it for the chance to be a part of a great day and of course, the audience reward, and if past years are anything to go by, we'll have a fabulous mix of music and dance by some very talented artists.

Our final applause concert kicks off in QEII Square from 4pm and will once again be hosted by our festival fave, Shep Huntly. The concert is a celebration of all of the day time performances and is beautifully placed under the shade, on the grass of our main square. The day wraps at around 6pm after a good time has been had by all.

Our full program including new and established workshops, guest artist profiles plus pics and descriptions of all of our acts will be available from mid September.
