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.
Mark your calendars for August 29th to September 1st, 2025, and prepare for a weekend of laughter and amazement, as world-class street performers descend on Toronto to thrill and amuse audiences. For the ultimate family event of the summer, admission is free with a donation to Epilepsy Toronto and attendees are encouraged to make their donations online pre-event and receive a charitable receipt.
