    Calling All Emerging Performers – Busking Applications Now Open!

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Collingwood, ON [21 March 2025] – Street entertainment brings a special kind of energy to public spaces. The Town of Collingwood encourages responsible busking to enliven and animate our streets with music, dance, and other engaging performances.

    The Town of Collingwood invites emerging talent to consider applying for the 2025 busking season. Busking provides a platform to showcase your skills, gain confidence and connect with audiences in a dynamic setting. Bring your passion for entertainment downtown.

    Busking is a great way to showcase yourself while being out in the fresh air, amidst the bustle of our streets, bringing joy and energy to our residents and visitors. If you’re ready to embrace this challenge, then it can all begin with a successful audition and a Town of Collingwood Busking License!

    Schedule your 10-minute audition at the Simcoe Street Theatre, by emailing [email protected] and selecting a day and time that suits you best.

    Audition dates are Sunday, March 30th from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., or Wednesday, April 2nd from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Auditioning does not guarantee a busking license.

    Prepare your performance, bring your own equipment/instruments, and be ready to dazzle our judging panel. As the saying goes, come dressed for success, ready for your photo to be taken while on-site and on stage.

    The busking season begins April 18th and continues throughout the year until December 31st, weather permitting. Busking is not permitted before April 18th, or prior to obtaining a busking license and ID badge from the Town.

    Only 20 busking acts will be selected and licensed for 2025, allowing successful performers an abundance of opportunities to perform. Please note that only those licensed are permitted to busk within the Town.

    Collingwood residents are not required to pay a license fee with proof of residence, and non-residents only pay a nominal fee of $22.00 for the busking season.
    Returning buskers are welcome to apply but must also audition to be considered.

    Join us and showcase your talents as part of the 2025 Ambassador Busking Program—be seen, be heard, and make an impact! You’ll be glad you did!
