What We Do

Each event activates community pride, drives foot traffic to small businesses, and gives emerging performers the visibility and experience they need to grow their careers.

Why It Matters
Why It Matters
Public performance does more than entertain—it anchors identity.
It brings people together, supports artists, and energizes public spaces. Buskers turn sidewalks into stages, adding spontaneity, safety, and joy to our neighborhoods. When music hits the street, cities feel more alive.
And it pays off: festivals featuring buskers see up to a 10:1 return on local spending. In New York, subway performances foster community and boost public comfort. In London, buskers reach over 1 billion listeners annually in the Tube. Cities like Melbourne and Austin even fund performers as part of their cultural infrastructure.
Street art makes spaces more welcoming, boosts foot traffic, and launches careers—just ask Ed Sheeran or Tracy Chapman. It’s not background noise. It’s the heartbeat of a creative city.
Streets to Stages helps you hear it.
