Over three days from August 29 to 31, 2025, Victoria Row, Founders’ Food Hall & Market, and Peake’s Quay will transform into open-air stages, drawing locals and visitors alike to the heart of the city.
Among this year’s artists is Ontario’s Shaun Ferguson, whose blend of sleight-of-hand, comedy, and balloon artistry makes every performance an interactive spectacle. Veteran entertainer Derek Derek, who has showcased his skills in 26 countries, brings a mix of Chinese pole climbing, fire juggling, and quick wit.
The roster also features Canadian circus star Kate Ryan, known for her fiery hula hoop routines and credits with Cirque du Soleil and Cartoon Network. Rob Roy Collins, a globetrotting escapologist and acrobat, adds danger and laughter to the mix.
With more than 20 years of experience across 51 countries, Flow Berger delivers his signature variety show, while Joey Albert impresses with daring stunts honed from years with Stunt Double Circus.
From Germany, Seb & Fritzzz merge explosive beatboxing with blazing fire artistry, offering a spectacle unlike anything else on the lineup.
Beyond the buskers, the festival includes signature events: a Grand Opening Stunt at Peake’s Quay (Aug. 29, 6 p.m.), a Fire Spectacular at Victoria Park (Aug. 30, 9 p.m.), and Busk After Dusk, a 19+ show hosted by Monsters of Schlock (Aug. 31, 9 p.m.).
