Buskers returns to the Halifax and Dartmouth waterfronts from today, August 2 to August 7.
Added stages and an incredible roster of international talent will provide locals and visitors with exciting and unique entertainment.
The Halifax waterfront will also feature three action-filled busker performance stages, and food and craft vendors around the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, Sackville Landing (site of Halifax’s infamous Wave) and Foundation Wharf.
The festival successfully expanded to Dartmouth last year and will have two performance stages, vendors, and the ever-popular East Coast Amusements midway at Alderney Landing once again this year.
See some electrifying international and local acts will provide six days of incredible performances, including: Surprise Effect (France), Billy Kidd (United Kingdom), Mighty Mike (Canada), Satya Bella (Australia), World Stage Dancers (USA), Her Majesty’s Secret Circus (USA), Famos Bramwells (United Kingdom), magician Patrick Drake (Halifax), YoYo Guy John Higby (USA), Julia Perron (Canada), Scott Jackson (Canada), Flow Berger (Austria), and festival favourite Silver Elvis (Canada), and more!
Once time at Buskers when our son Drake was 7 years old, a busker invited him up on stage by the wave downtown and gave him a five dollar bill, he said “take this home and put ot under your pillow and it will turn into a twenty dollar bill when you wake up!”

Enjoy Buskers 2023!
