Interested in auditioning for the Friends of RMNP Busking Program?
Every potential Busker will be given 10 -15 minutes to razzle and dazzle the judges with their performance – all auditions will be performed un-amplified.
Successful Buskers will be issued a Friends of RMNP Busker’s Pass that will enable them to perform at one of five (5) designated Busk Stops in Riding Mountain National Park. ONLY OFFICIAL FRIENDS of RMNP BUSKERS are allowed to perform in Riding Mountain National Park.
All existing and new buskers must successfully complete an audition held at the Friends of RMNP Learning Centre.
- Auditions MUST be pre-booked and can be held throughout the season.
Call Friends of RMNP (204.848.4037) or email friends.rmnp@mymts.net to book your audition time.
For your audition, please bring:
- Completed and signed 2024 Busker’s Application Form
- $10.00 Audition Fee
- Any potential busker who would like to audition with an INSTRUMENT or VOICE will need to provide two (2) different 30 minute set lists. The judges will then select the audition songs from the provided set lists.
