From top, Sven and Olga bend over backwards to please the Orewa crowd at the annual Buskers Festival. Sixteen-year-old Quinn Vale from Auckland.
Outdoor performers taking part in the Buskers Festival in Orewa had their work cut out for them in the Waitangi Day weekend rain and wind, but they rose to the challenge and received great support from the local crowds.Organiser Hellen Wilkins of Destination Orewa Beach says her team has been overwhelmed with positive comments regarding this event – particularly in regard to the high calibre of performers.
She says work for the 2017 event, which will again fall on Waitangi Weekend, has already begun and that new elements will include two evening performances over two nights – one for families and a later show the next night aimed more at the late teen/adult market – “with a few added thrill factors and maybe just a little bit of a low level ‘freak’ factor”.
