Dancing dogs, acrobatic archers and wheel-of-fire daredevils were just some the artists to thrill at the annual Buskers by the Lake at Bokarina.
More than 300 talented performers took centre stage for the seventh running of the event, which was held along Sportsmans Parade from Friday until Sunday.
Festival-goers supported the buskers as they meandered their way along the edge of Lake Kawana, distributing tip tokens and spare cash.
Organisers kept ticket prices low to encourage tipping, and each ticket included tip tokens. Every cent from cash tips and tip tokens went directly to the artists.
“Buskers by the Lake is about showcasing the hidden talents of the busking community,” festival organiser Cindy Jensen said.
Music lovers were also delighted by the Battle of the Buskers, at Eleven Dive Bar, on Friday.
The region’s top singer-songwriters went head to head to win a suite of coveted prizes. Jason Daniels won the over-18s and Noah Robertson won the under-18s. The event has previously been won by well-known artist Tones and I.
Meanwhile, an 18+ Sundowner Celebration was held at the Heartlands bar and a Halloween-inspired freak show, Deja Voodoo, was held at Venue 114.
