Buskerfest is held downtown on Sparks Street in Ottawa on the Civic Holiday weekend in early August, and has been going on for years- with a pause for Covid. I caught some of the acts this year on a fine day, and so for the next few days this will be our focus. We start with juggler Yoshi, who was in the last stages of his act when I came across him. These acts always bring out a lot of people.
With a bit of audience participation, namely getting him up and balanced on a wooden plank that was on top of a steel cylinder on top of a table, he was in position- to start juggling blades. We'll pick up here tomorrow.
Oh, boy. I think I could not watch!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy it.
DeleteI enjoy street shows like that as long as I don't have to pay
ReplyDeleteNo entry fee, but I do bring money along. This is how they make their living, and I end being entertained.
DeleteI sometimes get a bit jealous when I see the body control of such artists.
ReplyDeleteIt takes a lot of skill.
DeleteWhat some folks do can make a lot of us smile. Great pictures

DeleteI love playing music outdoors for random strangers to hear in passing. I'm not passing the hat, in fact I like to be off to the side somewhere. But I do play in public daily and I think that visitors to Waikiki. Enjoy hearing it. Thanks William. Aloha
