Ottawa Busker Festival
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!

Great pictures, Zhu!!! I believe the Waterloo Buskers festival is coming soon, it’d be interesting to go, take pictures and then try to find the same performers on both posts!
Also, I have to agree with you, that guy’s shirt… rocks!
Super pictures! Sounds like lot of fun… I like that pink cotton candy too… I used to call it “old woman’s hair” when I was small.
I love that guy’s t-shirt!
@Lizz — Cotton candies is always a synonym of street festivals or fairs to me. I love it!
@Seraphine — I love taking risks for faithful readers like you. I’m fearless
@Celine — Thank you!
@Gabriel — You definitely have to go. I’m sure your kids will love it!
@Final_Transit —
That’s cute! Now I’m gonna think of it every time I see cotton candy.
@aline — It was so funny!
i must have a poor instinct, because when everyone is running, i stop and look to see what they are running from.
