Tremains Art Deco Festival 2017 welcomes entertainers and buskers.

Entertainers and buskers are a vital component to the energy, vibrancy, colour and success of the Art Deco Festival. Entertainers are used to enhance an existing event, free or ticketed. Buskers and also some entertainers are used as performers on one of the many stages placed around the city. Permission from the owner or shop has been arranged. All entertainers must comply with the Art Deco theme and the Tremains Art Deco Festival Event and Health Safety Plan.

Entertainers and buskers require the Art Deco Trust’s permission. There may be times when it is necessary to withhold permission, for example when other activities are underway in the downtown area. Buskers shouldn't create a nuisance by obstructing or harassing people or by making too much noise. If performances and outfits are not to satisfactory level performers may be asked to move on.

Approved entertainers and buskers will be advised where and when they will perform during the 3 days of the Art Deco Festival Friday 17 – Sunday 19 February 2017. An entertainers/buskers licence will be issued by the Art Deco Trust. Please do not approach Napier City Council unless your performance is outside the Art Deco Festival period.

Please register and complete the 'Entertainment Registration Form' so your activity can be considered for inclusion in the Festival.

Performances styled to enhance the festival atmosphere will be given preference over the ones that have little connection to the Art Deco era.
