Buskerfest for Epilepsy at Woodbine Park Sept 1 through 4

The 18th annual Toronto International BuskerFest for Epilepsy is at Woodbine Park Labour Day weekend starting Friday. Three of the more than a hundred performers from around the world are shown above. BuskerFest used to play on Yonge Street til 2015. That venue ended when Scotiabank stopped funding. This year CTV (Bell) The Toronto Star and Metro Inc and others are sponsoring BuskerFest, which is in aid of Epilepsy research and assistance. This year’s festival will feature more than 100 world-class performers including acrobats, comedians, jugglers, fire manipulators, musicians, high-skill circus performers and others. Woodbine Park is at 1695 Queen St East at Coxwell Ave. Be generous when artists pass the hat.
