Kamloops International Buskers Festival

This year marks the 4th edition of the Kamloops International Buskers Festival (KIBF), a free-to-attend street theatre festival that is as unique as the city that gives it a home. The festival brings 4 days of fun to downtown Kamloops, and features professional street performers from around the world, as well as regional and local performers (amateur, emergent, and professional). The objective of the KIBF is to bring free, live performing arts programming to the Interior of BC in an inclusive and accessible way. It is not often that performances of this quality and caliber are provided free of charge in an outdoor festival setting. The acts are limited only by the imagination and skill of the performers, two commodities they have in boundless supply.   

The great thing about busking is that it doesn’t discriminate, it is an art form that is available to anyone regardless of age, race, ethnicity, or religion. The KIBF allows anyone to showcase their talents in a safe and judgment free space and encourages individuals from all walks of life to take part in the festival. Arts and performing are a common ground between many cultures and it allows people to connect on various levels.Our goal again this year is to provide BC’s Interior with a unique experience that showcases our diversity and thriving arts scene. Whether someone is two years old or ninety-two, we offer sheer delight and entertainment for everyone with world class entertainers. We look forward to seeing you there!
