The fifth annual Busker Fest event will bring the streets of Port Credit alive from August 20-22 with outrageous performances from street buskers around the globe, creating three days and nights of jaw-dropping excitement!

Now a three-day event with over 40 professional buskers, 6 staging areas, 2 spectacular fire shows and lots of "surprise fly pitches" throughout Port Credit, this year's festival is wilder than ever.

For the past 5 years, many buskers have been invited to perform in Port Credit, including jugglers, mimes, human statues, contortionists, break dancers, comedians, stilt walkers, magicians, aerial artists and more. This year will be no exception, as buskers will be out in full force on the event weekend entertaining audiences for "the drop of a coin in the hat".

The action kicks off on Friday, August 20 as the streets are filled with music and magic from 7 – 11 p.m. On Saturday, August 21, Saturday, August 21, keep your eyes peeled for daredevil stunts, stilt walkers and roving entertainers of every description – all afternoon and evening from 2 – 11 p.m. Finally, on Sunday, August 22 from 2 – 7 p.m., when the merriment, mirth & music culminate in a Grandest Finale showcase featuring all the buskers.
