Curbside Performance Buskers

Curbside performance buskers are those lively folk who line Broadway Avenue with music, magic, and feats of jugglery, bringing a special kind of magic to the site.

All performance buskers are located along the sides and median of Broadway Avenue, though immediately in front of the Broadway theatre is a no-busking zone. All busking locations are only available during hours of street closure during the 2012 PotashCorp Fringe (6:00 p.m. - 10:30 p.m. August 2-3 and 6-10 and 12 noon -11:00 p.m. August 4, 5, and 11). You may come and go as you please within these hours but must be able to load your setup in and out without bringing a vehicle onto the site.

Performance buskers may solicit their audience for donations.

Please note that we are not allowing any drum kits or amplified performance in 2012.
