EUSTIS BUSKER FESTIVAL WELCOMES STREET PERFORMERS ON APRIL 8

It's rare that an idea combines tons of talent and a bit of creative enterprise.

Those are the ingredients required when live performance acts from across the US converge on the Eustis Buskers Festival on April 8.    

Busking, entertaining in a public place for donations, is sometimes credited with adding charm to intimate settings, like downtown Eustis.  The city's festival will provide buskers a bigger stage, while giving residents and visitors a weekend to remember.  The acts can range from musicians and acrobats to artists and magicians.  

The buskers will compete for over $6,500 in prize money from sponsors, including the festival's grand prize of $5,000 and a people’s choice award of $1,500.

The family-friendly event will take place from 10 a.m. to  5 p.m. throughout downtown at outdoor “busk stops.”   The grand finale will feature top performers from each category on the stage at Ferran Park beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Admission is free to the public. For more information on the event,  visit www.eustis.org/buskerfestival.
