Best Busker Contest

Dates & times

  • · –

City Newspaper's Best Busker Contest is back for its fourth year! Come down to Rochester's East End on Thursday, May 2, for a night of free music from great local musicians, plus ridiculous deals from neighborhood merchants on food, drink, goods, and service.

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE!
Come to the City Newspaper tent to get your FREE guitar picks, which you'll use to vote for the live musicians playing on the sidewalks 6-8 p.m. The top vote-getters will win prizes furnished by Bernunzio Uptown Music, including a $500 gift certificate for first place!

Get updates and see photo slideshows of past year's busker events at the Best Busker Contest Facebook Page!

Merchant offers will run 5-9 p.m. (unless otherwise noted), and music will run 6-8 p.m.
