When: August 1 st - 6 th , 2018 Where: Halifax, NS, Canada Why: Well not only is this festival in my home town, well city of Halifax, it is an event that I have been attending all my life, from my days in a stroller to my
adult life and an event that I look forward to every year. For six amazing days in early August, the Halifax Busker Festival explodes across Halifax’s beautiful and historic downtown. Halifax also offers many other attractions and venues for festival goes to attend before and after each day’s events making it an experience like no other. The festival features hilarious, wacky and breathtaking entertain- ment that can only be found at the annual Halifax Busker Festival that is back from its amazing 32 nd year with spectators sure to be treated to mind blowing shows from the world’s top street perfor- mance artists as they showcase their unique talents and skills with acrobatics,music, visual arts, comedy, fireshowsandsomuchmore. There is truly something for everyone from the young to the young at heart. With family friendly performances by day and more adult focused entertainment by night with stages located all along the beautiful Halifax Waterfront. This is a festival not tomiss and it promises to have hundreds of jaw dropping shows that are open to the public. It is free to attend, but the performers and artists do rely on support from the crowds to make for an exciting show and cover their expense for coming to the festival. So they will ask for support from the crowd for both however, it is entirely up to you. As the performers will say, “If you liked our perfor- mance and enjoyed the show, give a little… if you loved it, give a lot, either way fold it up and place it in the hat.” I hope to see you all at this year’s events and you will not be disappointed.
