What’s Happening at Toronto International BuskerFest 2024?
Ever watched hula hoop tricks before? The Bex in Motion is an incredible performer who combines comedy, acrobatics, and mind-blowing stunts with her mesmerizing hula hoops. Then there’s NorthFIRE Circus, a troupe that turns fire into art with their high-energy, choreographed performances. They’ll have you holding your breath as they spin and twirl with flames.
If you’re into magic, don’t miss Quinn Beasley. He’s the kind of magician who looks like he’s stepped out of a silent film, with tricks that’ll leave you scratching your head in the best way possible. His classic-meets-eccentric style is guaranteed to keep you entertained.
Looking for laughs? You’ll find plenty with The Croquiky Brothers, a Korean clown duo whose unique blend of circus skills and dance is as hilarious as it is impressive. And then there’s Steve Goodtimes, whose rock opera-circus-magic mashup is one of those “you have to see it to believe it” acts.
Want some serious circus action? From hand balancing to hula hoops and fire juggling to acrobatics, The Street Circus brings the full circus experience to the streets. Check out Lucky Barber Show also—this guy juggles sharp, real metal objects while cracking jokes.
This year, Bark in the Park returns with a special festival section dedicated to our furry friends. Enjoy activities, obstacle courses, and even a performance by The Ultimutts, a team of talented dogs and cats who will astound with their tricks.

The Vibe and the Cause
At the Toronto International BuskerFest, the whole park comes alive with creativity, laughter, and a sense of community. You can grab some tasty bites from one of the many food trucks and vendors, or sip on something refreshing.
The BuskerFest 2024 is also the largest epilepsy awareness event in the world, supporting Epilepsy Toronto. So, when you drop some cash in a performer’s hat or donate at the gate, you’re helping out a great cause.
Cheering on a performer or exploring the Family Fun Zone with the kids (don’t miss the foam parties!)? Attendees can expect a sense of spontaneity that makes every visit unique.
