Busking is allowed in places that don’t block pedestrians or interfere with stage sound: outside the PRD office on Albert Street west, outside the Library on Albert Street East, outside the Creswick Primary School in Napier Street and outside the Old Post Office (Sunday only). In addition, acts with minimal sound requirements (no bass/drums please) might like to sign up for our Open Mic stages at Farmers Arms Hotel and Rosie the Caravan Stage, or (under 12s) the KidsOwn KidZone.
