Experience the Ultimate Family Festival at the Toronto International BuskerFest for Epilepsy!
One of Toronto’s most vibrant summer festivals is back! The Toronto International BuskerFest for Epilepsy takes over Woodbine Park from August 29 to September 1 (Labour Day Weekend), transforming the Beaches into a high-energy hub of jaw-dropping stunts and family fun with a bonus festival just for pet lovers. This one-of-a-kind event blends world-class street performers, live music, diverse food options, and an artisan market, all in support of a good cause.
This year’s lineup includes:
- HEROMACRO (Japan) – An acrobatic duo who combine ninja agility with geisha grace in a laugh-filled, high-energy performance.
- Jambo Brothers (Kenya) – Gravity-defying acrobatics and fire tricks delivered with the energy and rhythm of Nairobi. (As seen on Canada’s Got Talent.)
- Plaf! (Quebec) – Julia Perron performs a rock ’n roll circus show, spinning, flipping, and lighting up the stage with her German wheel and fiery flair.
- Sam Malcolm (USA) – A fast-talking, quick-juggling crowd favourite who blends Native American humour stylings with rapid-fire improv comedy and world-class circus skills.
- Pyromancer (Netherlands)
Running alongside BuskerFest, Bark in the Park TO is a dog-lover’s dream. Expect: a canine extravaganza that guarantees a tail-wagging good time for both dogs and dog lovers alike. This festival features a pet-centric vendor market, fun photo ops, a variety of doggy activities, a pet costume contest, and a lure course! A highlight is sure to be the daily performances by the legendary Ultimutts. These four-legged stars – cat and dog celebrities recently seen on Canada’s Got Talent – are known for their dazzling array of skills, from charming tricks to incredible stunts.
