Buskerfest

 Buskerfest is an August tradition in Ottawa, with buskers from close to home and around the world brought in to perform downtown on Sparks Street. This year, a new stage location was set up just south of Sparks Street, outside the World Exchange Plaza, which finished renovations last year, including the  landscape and terrace space on the outside, an ideal setting for this sort of event. I took in several of the acts, starting with Charming Jay, a stage magician from South Korea.
