Get On the Busker Bus

Wroclaws Market Square will soon be taken over by some of the worlds most unusual performers - buskers! Circus acts, clowns, musicians, mimes, performers, magicians, actors, and acrobats will gather in the city centre to perform as part of this festival of street art.

Busker Bus is one of the citys most unique cultural events as it takes place directly on the streets of the city and allows for flexible relationship between audience and performer. After all, audience participation is a staple of many buskers performances.

Organized since 1997 by one-man band Romuald Poplonyk, who, inspired by the many street art festivals of the world, decided to create a buskers festival in his hometown of Wroclaw. Performers from across the world will visit Wroclaw during the festival, from South America to Asia, and beyond.

All performances are free - though tips are presumably most welcome! Catch Busker Bus from 22 to 26 August.
