Attend the Edmonton Street Performers Festival

It’s not called a marathon funfest for nothing, this 10-day festival offers fun, fun and more fun throughout. And as an added bonus it is completely free to attend and is full of awesome performances. There are five major events that run throughout the festival. The first being the outside shows that run daily from 11:30 am to 11:00 pm in Winston Churchill Square. Here festival goers will watch dancers, jugglers, musicians and many other performances. This festival also features a Kid’s World which you can find on a daily basis and where kids can get their faces painted, participate in activities and watch kid-geared performances. Every day for three hours visitors are invited to participate in workshops and showcases, teaching them how to be a busker. At 10 pm on each night, there is a show featuring the best of the best, with a new cast each night and elements such as juggling, fire throwing and more. The festival wraps up with a closing show with some of the best performances that you would not want to miss out. Fans are encouraged to toss coins into the busker’s hats throughout the festival but are not required to.
