Banbridge Buskfest

Banbridge Buskfest is the town's annual event held on Main Street and some smaller streets off the town centre.

Banbridge Buskfest
It is run by the ABC (short for Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon) council. I have divided my photos and videos into the year they were shot.
Buskfest 2023
This year's Banbridge Buskfest 2023 was on Sat 24th June. Well, what a day. I arrived too early and saw the musicians and singers setting up, so I headed to the Downshire Arms Hotel at the top of the town for a pint. The plan was to give it another try, and if 2023 was a damp squib, I would cut my losses and head home. Well, I wasn’t disappointed! By the time I finished my annual pint and made my way back out, the town centre was packed with musicians and singers busking along the front of the shops, with plenty of spectators and people walking around town. The music was outstanding this year, and I’m so glad I didn’t leave too early.
Photos and videos are coming soon.
Buskfest 2022
This year was a bit different for me as I brought my two cameras strapped to both sides. One was shot with my 35mm and the other with my 50mm lens. I shot photos and filmed some videos of the event in town. Photos and video too come.
