The Toronto International BuskerFest for Epilepsy returns! After a 2 year hiatus, due to Covid-19, plans for the 2022 festival are now underway. The event is scheduled to take place over the Labour Day weekend, Sept 2 – 5, 2022 at Woodbine Park in the Beaches Neighbourhood. For more details please visit our BuskerFest website and for current updates, follow our social media, on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Toronto International BuskerFest for Epilepsy features spectacular circus artistry; music, magic and mime; feats of the impossible, and the ridiculous, performed by comedians, fire jugglers, acrobats, aerial artists, clowns, daredevils, stiltwalkers, and much more. What makes this world-class festival truly unique is that it is produced by a local charitable organization, Epilepsy Toronto. Established in 1999, the event is one of the biggest street performer festivals in North America, and is the largest epilepsy event on the planet!
