The White Rock Buskers & Comedy Festival is back and the laughs are going to be bigger and better than ever. This May, get ready to laugh all day and night in White Rock.
All day on Saturday, May 27 watch for free street busking performances featuring circus acts, musicians and amazing magicians as they perform at various outdoor venues around White Rock’s Uptown and Five Corners districts. Buskers will include ROOTS Peruvian Folk Dance group with their uplifting, traditional dance performances; singer, guitarist, humorist, and Surrey-local, Duncan Minnett (who creates musical magic with his loop-pedal performance techniques); the folk/pop to bluegrass sounds of Vancouver-based band, Little Fox; and jessaii, a roots reggae/r&b Vancouver-based singer who will wow audiences with her powerful vocals.
Adding a little spectacle and amazement to the daytime busking performances will be the incredible, and mind-blowing magic of award-winning magician Travis Bernhardt and the incredibly talented circus performers from NZR Productions
