BuskFest is Banbridge District Council’s flagship event and is organised by the BuskFest Committee which comprises council staff and community representatives. We have extensive event management expertise, musical knowledge and experience of working with young people in the local community.

In 2004 Banbridge District Council was awarded a 4 year programme of funding through the East Border Region Tourism Partnership to establish a community event in Banbridge. In 2008 we were delighted to enter into a 3 year sponsorship agreement with TESCO which has enabled us to develop the event further. In addition we receive ongoing support from local businesses and private individuals and always welcome fresh input into the event.
