| Victoria International Buskers Festival 2011 |
To really appreciate how many things are going on in Victoria it would really help if you are unemployed. There is really no shortage of entertainment as you walk down the street of Victoria and this week is especially full of great entertainers.
This year Victoria host its inaugural Victoria International Buskers Festival. For ten days large crowds of people peering over, under and in between their neighbors has become a very common site around the downtown harbor. It's likely only a handful in the crowd came down specifically for this entertainment, but the performers managed to wow crowds ranging from bright eyed toddlers to seniors in their mobility scooters.
From the few shows that I have watched the variety included a rather affectionate juggler, a contortionist from down-under and soul moving guitarist. Now this is an amazing line up of free acts. I guess whether you tip or not depends on you and if you felt entertained. By the looks of things, many people enjoyed themselves.
I hope to see this festival become an ongoing part of the Victoria calendar.
