Catch musicians, jugglers, magicians and more Busking by the Bay at DBS Marina Regatta 2018

Presented by DBS

Dragon boat races, fitness classes, obstacle courses and more have come to The Promontory@Marina Bay as part of the DBS Marina Regatta, a two-weekend extravaganza held over 26-27 May and 1-3 June.

Complementing all the action will be 18 talented buskers as part of DBS Busking by the Bay, which aims to celebrate Singapore's street artists and also bring more vibrancy to the Bay during the Regatta, which is Singapore's biggest BayFest.

These performers – from musicians to jugglers and magicians – will perform at the Bay area starting from the DBS Marina Regatta between 5.30 and 8pm on Friday and Saturday.

Of those 18 acts, six will be selected to perform during the finals on Sunday, 3 June from 2 to 6pm. They will be picked based on how much they earn from the public – so be sure to express your appreciation with a donation! – how they engage the crowd, the entertainment value of their performances, and their creativity.

Up for grabs: cash prizes and talent development classes sponsored by DBS that will help buskers hone their craft.

So who can you expect to see this weekend at DBS Busking by the Bay? Here's a quick introduction to all 18 performers (in alphabetical order) gearing up to entertain you.
