We’re EXPLODING with excitement for the World Buskers Festival 2026!!!! It's the 33rd year running right here in CHCH! 

We've created a special buskers gelato flavour - Creamy Vanilla Gelato layered with Snickerone Sauce (caramel + choc + peanutty crunch = full Snickers energy), smashed up with Mini Marshmallows and Baker-made Shortbread Crumbs for that cheeky lil crunch.

Created by two wonderful customers with elite taste + even better ideas. Elliot came up with the vanilla gelato, peanut butter & the name, then @nesocalines added the biscuit crumbs and marshmallows. 

I contain: DAIRY, PEANUTS, SOY, GLUTEN, SULPHITES, also has Gelatine

💥Celebrating our VERY OWN Rollickin gelato on Cashel St Pitch - yep we’ve got a stage and a huge line up of acts. Plus the vintage gelato cart on site.

🪕 10am–5pm every day | 23rd Jan – 1st Feb 🍦 Come say hi & have a lick!!

Buskers on the streets, gelato in hand - honestly, Christchurch does it best.

Available by the scoop at either of our Rollickin Gelato Dessert Cafés in Christchurch - the perfect sweet stop while you’re bouncing between Buskers Festival shows. Take some home for a nutty girls’ night, impress your next date with a dessert box or party tub, or grab a party tub and wander down to Hagley Park between performances for a romantic walk ‘n scoop.

Or stroll into our Rollickin Gelato Café at 42 Rotherham Street in Riccarton to check out our NEW STORE!!!

Right in the heart of the action for the Buskers Festival? In Central Christchurch City? head to 98 Cashel Street, or 35 New Regent Street and swing by our Cashel Street pitch for the best handmade gelato and desserts in Christchurch - ideal for pre-show treats, mid-show refuels, or a post-performance sugar hit. Open 11am to 10pm Sunday to Thursday, and until 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays for those late-night dessert cravings.
