Announcing the 2010 Pike Place Market Buskers’ Festival. Sunday, September 19 / 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM
On the Streets and Alleys of the Pike Place Market… FREE
The 9th annual Pike Place Market Buskers’ Festival is a full-day celebration of the Northwest’s finest street performers. The buskers make the streets their stage every day, rain or shine, and are a key part of the Market’s culture. These master performers have a variety of talents: a cappella singers, balloon twisters,
guitarists, mandolinists, magicians, trombonists, harmonica players, accordionists and erhu players, but they’re all united by their desire to bring art out of the concert halls and into the street. Join the Pike Place Market Performers’ Guild and 35+ street performers at the 2010 Pike Place Market Buskers’ Festival for a celebration of the Market’s culture.
At the 2010 Festival, many favorite market performers will be featured, like gospel quartet A Moment in Time and the ukulele crooning of Howlin’ Hobbit, and expect surprises from newly arrived buskers like old-timey banjo songster Gregory Paul and harmonic folk duo The Gloria Darlings. You can even some great magic tricks from Acep Hale! Enjoy witty and sentimental songs by Greg Spence Wolf, smokin’ harmonica playing from Sleepy Joe, The 1 Knight Stand One Man Band, and the wit and wisdom of Mariide. These and many more performers will be featured on stage, so come down to check out all the artistic talent the Market has to offer.
With two amplified stages on Pike St and one acoustic stage in Post Alley, over 35 performers will be featured at the festival and crowds of 5,000 are expected to visit the market for the festival. For one day, the buskers will take over the market to showcase their diverse talents. A family-friendly and FREE event, come celebrate Pike Place Market and all the buskers that make it such a unique place to visit and enjoy.
