Hats off at Buskerfest Toronto 2010

In late August every year we have the annual Buskerfest in Toronto. We have clowns, jugglers, acrobats and mimes among others. It is a lot of fun! This year we had very hot and sunny weather in contrast to the rain of years past. I have to report that it was not a very hatty event although there was creative headgear and I did spot the odd bowler hat. Oh well more work needs to be done. It was a fun event nonetheless. Each year the crowds get bigger. It is a great setting near the flat iron building and the St Lawrence Markets – a great historical setting.

I do not believe that most of the buskers get paid for their participation. The rely on “donations”from the audience. Scotiabank sponsors the event and also attendees are asked to contribute to Epilepsy research. There are great performers there and they are looking for paid corporate work as well. Please check them out at the Buskerfest website – . They are great folks but I wish they would wear more hats – lol!

I stitched together a collage of the experiences at the events. Watch out for the Renfrews – faux  Mounties on Horseback wearing the traditional uniforms with the cowboy hat. Please enjoy the video and why not visit Toronto to see it next year?
