Seaport Village Spring Busker Festival
There is a free family-friendly event taking place San Diego’s Seaport Village on April 18th and 19th, the third annual Seaport Village Spring Busker Festival. This unique celebration of street performers includes all kinds of talent, including a magician, a sword swallower, a pancake juggler, a comedic performer who can pogo stick over a flaming shopping cart, musicians (of course!) and more. Some are local to Southern California, but others are coming from as far away as Canada, New York, and Utah.
New this year is an unedited Saturday night party - “Buskers After Dark” - to showcase untamed busker arts mingled with deejay grooves. The Busker After Dark party is an 18 and older event that will run from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday April 18th.
These types of festivals are incredibly popular across the globe and in Seaport Village is hosting the only one of its kind in Southern California. The public will vote for the top three acts and can receive prizes themselves just for voting!
The event will run Saturday and Sunday, April 18 - 19, 2009 from 12 - 5 p.m. It’s free of charge, although buskers are known to accept tips, and a great way to enjoy the day outside on the San Diego waterfront and close to a number of attractions where you can round out the day using your Go San Diego Card.
