Port Credit’s 11th annual Buskerfest August 19-21

In its eleventh year, the exciting and entertaining Port Credit Buskerfest happens this weekend in, well, Port Credit! It’s three days of incredible talent being showcased with performers from around the world.

What is the Port Credit Buskerfest?

The Port Credit Buskerfest is a collection of international busking talents that range from fire performers to an acrobatic pogo-stick show to jugglers to beatboxers and plenty in between. 

What can I expect at the Port Credit Buskerfest?

You can expect to be amazed and then some. These talented street performers have incredible skills, a great sense of humor, and put on a memorable performance each and every time. Not just for adults, there’s an interactive Busker Kidz Zone to keep the little ones engaged and entertained. Take a look at this compilation video from last year to give you an idea what’s in store for this year.

 

Where and when is the Port Credit Buskerfest?

This exciting festival takes place in Port Credit at various locations with half the events taking place in Memorial Park. See the handy map above outlining the event sites. 

  • Friday 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm
  • Saturday 1:00 pm – 11: 00 pm
  • Sunday 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm

What’ll it cost to attend the Port Credit Buskerfest?

Ten times of what it cost to get into last year’s event. Meaning, it’s free!
However, if you’re interested in digging out your loonies and toonies, bring those along to help support the buskers.

That sounds great and all, but why should I go?

You should go because the level of entertainment and talent is off the charts! There’s food and fun for the whole family. There’s even an Instagram contest with two VIP tickets to the grand finale! These talented buskers have put in hundreds of hours of practicing and performing to deliver a world-class show for you. Besides, where else can you see something as enthralling as this in Mississauga?
