Toronto Buskerfest 2014 Back on Yonge Street at Dundas Square

Buskerfest Toronto returns to Yonge Street, both north and south from Yonge-Dundas Square, from Aug. 21-24. (This picture of Fireguy was taken in the St. Lawrence Market district of Toronto in 2009. They moved in 2013, as I explained in “How to Find Toronto Buskerfest 2013“).

Buskerfest Toronto offers many world-class street performers al fresco, providing entertainment as you stroll from stage to stage, or stay in one spot until the next act begins.

When does Toronto Buskerfest Open and Close?

Where is Toronto Buskerfest 2014?

Buskerfest Toronto covers on Yonge Street, from College south past Yonge-Dundas Square, to Queen Street. Their online Buskerfest Toronto map shows the stages dotted along this route. (I updated the link on Aug. 21, 2015 to point to the current page rather than the old map).

How Expensive is Buskerfest Toronto?

Although Buskerfest Toronto is not a free annual Toronto event, it only costs what you’re willing to spend.

You should donate at least a toonie to the charity partner, Epilepsy Toronto. This community agency supports people with epilepsy with advocacy, counseling, education and employment assistance. Modern medicine is taking a run at epilepsy; but Epilepsy Toronto still needs funding to do their important work.

Each busker, whether a solo act or ensemble, will “pass the hat” after each performance. Pay what you can, or what they deserve; the performers literally earn exactly what you pay. The exception to the rule is that all the donations at the Epilepsy Toronto Benefit Stage at Yonge-Dundas Square go directly to Epilepsy Toronto. So presumably those performers are either paid by Toronto Buskerfest, or are donating their talents.

So be sure to bring large coins and small bills to spread your largesse among the buskers at Toronto Buskerfest 2014.
