Ottawa Busker Festival

3 August 2009By Zhu 15 Comments

The 17th Ottawa Busker Festival took place in the same street where the Texas Style BBQ was a few weeks ago. Sparks Street was closed and hundreds of people gathered to watch acrobats, jugglers and entertainers.

Oh, and for once, it didn’t rain.

The performers were really good and really engaged the audience, which had quickly gathered in the pedestrian street. Definitely a great place for street photography!

    i must have a poor instinct, because when everyone is running, i stop and look to see what they are running from.
