Title:
Toronto Travel: Buskerfest 9 - St. James Cathedral, Sculpture Park
Description:
This video clip was taken on August 26, 2007 during my cycling trip to Buskerfest, a great street festival that brings together musicians, acrobats, jugglers and other street performers. I cycled in from Toronto's east end through the Tayler Creek Park system, headed south through the Don Valley, made a quick stop at the Allen Gardens Conservatory as well as at St. James Cathedral until I finally reached the festival area which ran along Front Street all the way from Jarvis to Yonge Street. The streets were blocked off to traffic and large crowds started to form in the early afternoon. I first caught a high-energy performance by one of my favourite musicians - Dr. Draw whose acrobatic electronic violin playing is something to behold. Various performances of magicians, fire eaters, mimes and trampoline acrobats kept the crowd entertained. I also caught a 45 minute show by "Dynamike" whose comedic gift and witty comments, whose ability to juggle a burning chain saw and ride a 3 m high unicycle (while juggling) had the crowd in awe. Many retailers were selling jewelry, clothing and other decorative items, while several restaurants had also set up booths to quench the hunger of the crowd. Sushi, shish-kabobs, roasted corn and delicious crepes were just some of the items available to taste. As the afternoon went on the crowds got thicker, attesting to the success of this popular festival. I am actually a travel writer who loves to explore international destinations as well as my chosen home town of Toronto. On Youtube you will find hundreds of video clips from a wide variety of destinations. Feel free to check out some of my 700+ articles and interviews on http//www.travelandtransitions.com. My personal travel stories are located at http://www.travelandtransitions.com/stories_photos.htm and my Austrian travel articles will be published in the next few weeks. Also, my FREE travel ebooks containing stories from my trips to destinations such as Sicily, Havana, Mexico City, New York City, Chicago, Florida, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver, Halifax and many others are available right now at http://www.travelandtransitions.com/ebooks.html .
