Every Easter in the port town of the world's most isolated capital city, audiences in excess of 100,000 flood into the city to experience the supreme skill and outrageous behaviour of the world's best buskers.

For the artists, street performance is not a mere stepping stone onto greater things. This years program features highly polished acts from Australia, Canada, USA, Portugal and the United Kingdom with established careers in stage, screen, music, circus, stand up comedy and cabaret.

There are as many varieties of street artists as there are motivations for street performing. Some artists enjoy the travel, some enjoy playing to diverse audiences, many who would not normally see theatre in a venue, some enjoy the direct contact and spontaneous audience participation. The one thing they all have in common is that they CHOOSE to work in street theatre and they all rely on your contributions to stay there.

So bring your family and your friends and head down to experience an unforgettable weekend of world class entertainment as well as everything else Fremantle has to enjoy- and don't forget to bring a hat, some sunscreen and your sense of humour.
