| Festival Focus: International Street Performers Festival | |
|
The Edmonton International Street Performers Festival makes the downtown area come alive with clowns, jugglers, musicians and mimes from around the world. Most of the performances are free and take place at Winston Churchill Square. Of course, spectators often give a loonie or toonie when the performer passes his or her hat around after the show.
Most of the shows are about fifteen minutes in length and are family-oriented. There is a special children's section set up for younger kids, with games, performances and crafts. This festival of buskers is one of Edmonton's best-loved summer events, because of the diversity of performers, location and general fun atmosphere. It always takes place during the first two weeks of July, so be sure not to miss it!Next page > Photos from the Festival >
