Buskerfest 2012: Flames in the night

The street performers lit up the night during the #Toronto 2012 St Lawrence Market @BuskerFestTO. Thursday evening is the first night of the weekend long affair in the amazing market neighbourhood which is shut down to vehicular traffic and stuffed with stages, vendor tents and buskers of all types. The action happens along Front Street, in Berczy Park and on the adjoining side roads. Acts move between performance areas, drum up some excitement and crowds, then launch into their acts. At night the flames really stand out as jugglers do some fancy maneuvers to put on a great show.

A great evening view of the Flatiron Building and the Toronto Skyline as the sun goes down.

See more fun after the jump.




I was wondering about Copper Cowboy yesterday when I ran into Copper Cowgirl at the event. She has a couple of Pippi type pigtails going on.


Kromatik is back at the show creating human works of art on the faces of children and adults

Free samples could be had - this was some tasty pizza from Saputo


Carnival masks for some make believe, fantasy stuff you got going on
