Halifax International Busker Festival

When: Aug. 4-11 2011

Organizers are expecting as many as 500,000 people to attend this year’s Busker Fest on the Halifax waterfront. The annual event attracts street performers from across Canada and around the world. Six outdoor sites will play host to jugglers, fire eaters, break dancers and the like, all vying for your attention and donations. You can also expect over-priced treats and gewgaws galore.
