More on the entertainers is here.

Festival admission is free, but entertainers will be busking for bucks, so feel free to bring along a few dollars to spare. An exchange tent will be on site to break bills.

You’re also welcome to bring a lawn chair.

Parking downtown will be free, as it is the weekend.

Pets, smoking, bikes, scooters, roller blades etc. are not permitted through the festival site, for everyone’s safety.

Lastly, get your tickets to the CentreFest-inspired Battle of the Buskers event, happening July 24 at Bo’s Bar & Stage.

Tickets are $30 in advance, and $35 at the door. Buy them here.
