Buskerfest starts today at St. Lawrence Market (Front & Jarvis), with dozens of incredibley talented street performers, musicians, and acrobats roaming the neighborhood, with talent from all over the world. If I could offer a suggestion: head over to the Hothouse Café (make a reservation) or the Irish Embassy for brunch and then roam about.

Buskerfest is on from August 23rd to 26th. Fri Aug 24, 2007 12:00 PM - 11:00 PM, Sat Aug 25, 2007 11:00 AM - 11:00 PM , Sun Aug 26, 2007 11:00 AM - 8:00 PM

Organizers expect about 350,000 spectators to come down over the course of the weekend, which is why Market Street will be blocked off until midnight Sunday. Admission is free, but on-site donations benefiting Epilepsy Toronto are encouraged

Road closures : Front Street between Jarvis and Scott will be shut down and Church from Front to the Esplanade will be closed from 9:30 Friday morning. All will also reopen Sunday at midnight.
