The 2005 Busker Festival was great. I had an amazing time. It was a nice way to conclude my vacation to NL. You have a great province here and a fantastic city. Its beautiful and I can't wait to come back. Keep up the great work.
Posted by: Keith White at August 5, 2005 09:53 AMThe busker festival is a wonderful event to bring your family to. There is all kinds of juggling acts, balloon animals, and lots lots more. It's a wonderful event to attend.
Albeit that the Aliant Buskers Festival is a marvellous family event, however it doesn't seem to make sense to me to have it running at the same time that the Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival (another great family event) is being staged in Bannerman Park. It would seem to me to make more sense if it were staged to run concurrently with the George Street Festival (not a family event).
