Buskerfest is the best six-block street closing in Toronto. This four-day carnival of tricks and schticks is on again starting today (August 27, 2015) on Yonge Street between College and Queen. It features musicians, acrobats, tricksters (honest ones) mimes and musicians. This year the music includes Samba Squad, a loud rhythmic gang and Bulldog favorite. There is endless food offered along the way and many concessions to entertain between acts. There are also side stages with frequently excellent acts as well. This event is now 16 years old and is sponsored by Scotiabank. Be generous when the buskers pass the hat.
