Can you sing for your supper? Do magic tricks for tips? Salt Lake City’s Busker Fest is looking for you.
Street performers of all sorts are being sought to enter the second annual Busker Fest, set for Friday, Aug. 16, from 3 to 10 p.m., on downtown Salt Lake City’s Regent Street and Block 70 (between Main Street and State Street, and 100 South and 200 South).
The vaudeville themed festival is looking for musicians, dancers, hula-hoopers, jugglers, performance artists and comedy acts. The festival is scheduling circle acts (performers that draw a crowd) for 30-minute shows, street acts for one-hour performance slots, and curated workshops to teach the public such busking skills as juggling, magic and hoop work.
