“The atmosphere will come alive with the vibrant sights and sounds of talented street performers and musicians. See stilt walkers towering above you and be amazed by the tricks of talented magicians. Immerse yourself in the creative world as you have a custom poem written on an old school typewriter or get your very own classic caricature drawn.” says the Gardens.

Officials advise attendees to bring small bills and change to show your appreciation by tipping street performers throughout the night.

The Busker Street Fair at the Myriad Botanical Gardens is free to attend and accessible for all members of the community.
