The Third Annual BuskerBall was held in St. Lawrence Market last night and as a proud sponsor of this year's Scotiabank BuskerFest, the Cityzen crew were in attendance to get a sneak peek of what's in store over the next four days.
Some of the best street performers in the world were joined by more than 600 guests with the common goal of raising money for Epilepsy Toronto.
There was plenty of action over the course of the evening, with various performers entertaining the crowd amidst a live auction presided over by Zack Werner (including a special appearance by the Toronto Maple Leaf's Colby Armstrong), with MC Tom Hayes of CTV guiding us through the evening's events.
Here's what you can expect on the St. Lawrence Market streets this weekend:
Contortionist Bendy Em fits herself into a 16 square inch box, with a basketball!
This year, the North Market interior was designed by Jamie Alexander.
The Scotiabank BuskerFest Toronto does fantastic work to help raise awareness for the 1 in 10 people who live with epilepsy.
Zack Werner and Jamie Alexander conduct a bit of live auctioning.
Mexican act Pancho Libre helps wrap up festivities with some impressive acrobatics.
Pyromancer from The Netherlands got the fire show finale started...
...and Flame Oz from Australia finished it off in style.
The Scotiabank Buskerfest runs from Thursday August 25th to Sunday August 29th in the St. Lawrence Market area.
It's a great day out for all ages so if you're planning a trip to downtown Toronto this weekend we fully recommend that you drop by and check out the amazing street performers and help out a great cause in supporting Epilepsy Toronto.
