Festival Gala - World Buskers Festival 2026

Proudly presented by Go Media, the World Buskers Festival Gala is the grand finale of the festival; one spectacular night where the best of the best take the stage to wrap up ten unforgettable days of fun, laughter, and world-class performance.

Held at the iconic Isaac Theatre Royal, the Gala brings together an all-star line-up of international and local talent, performing back-to-back in a high-energy showcase that captures the heart and humour of the festival. Expect dazzling acrobatics, side-splitting comedy, magic, and plenty of surprises in a night that’s as unpredictable as it is unforgettable.

More than just a show, the Gala is a celebration — a chance to relive the moments, cheer for your favourites, and see the festival’s biggest acts come together one last time.

Whether you’re a long-time Buskers fan or joining the fun for the first time, the World Buskers Festival Gala is the ultimate curtain call, a joyful, jam-packed farewell to the festival that brings Ōtautahi Christchurch to life each summer.
