Seattle Busker WeekSeptember 14 – 20Various LocationsFREE Performances and Concerts Throughout Seattle! “The purpose of the Busker Week Celebration is to elevate and honor the centuries old tradition of street performing, also known as “busking”. Seattle is unique in having a city licensing code which legalizes busking without permit or audition. Within this context is the Pike Place Market which has, as an historical district, been a Mecca and shelter for buskers since before legalization. For this reason the Market is the epicenter of the Celebrations. The ultimate intent however is to spread the news and the joy of the art form far and wide, to link with other busking festivals and organizations and to seek to work together for a busker friendly 21st century world!”More information & full schedule here.
