Busker Tour 2024 returns to Wrocław between 30th Aug and 1st Sep with a three-day programme featuring over 70 shows by international street performers.
Busker Tour is a travelling festival that showcases the richness of street art in its international and diverse forms. The line-up changes annually, including interdisciplinary performing arts (theatre, dance, music) and circus acts. During this combined tour, street artists will perform in Krotoszyn (24th-25th August), Zielona Góra (27th-28th August) and Wrocław (30th August-01st Sep, 2024).
Buskers will present a mix of surprising and unconventional circus acts alongside popular routines, demonstrating feats like juggling with their feet, and juggling while playing drums with flaming sticks. The festival will feature, among many others, archery, contortion, unicycling, acrobatics, and concerts with original music. From playful Latin clowning and poetic storytelling to energetic Arab rhythms, the Busker Tour offers a blend of styles, cultures, art forms, and disciplines.
The Busker Tour is a truly international festival, with this year’s performers hailing from numerous countries across five continents. Most of them will be visiting Poland for the first time, at the invitation of Małgorzata Węglarz, the festival’s artistic director. The lineup includes artists from Taiwan, New Zealand, Japan, Canada, Chile, Egypt, Australia, Poland, Bulgaria, Austria, Mexico, and, traditionally, Argentina.

While some of them perform mainly locally, others travel across continents, pursuing the summer. At the festival, they will take the audience on a journey around the world, making every location feel like Sunday afternoon in Mauerpark in Berlin, on the Southbank Promenade in Melbourne, or in Parque Urquiza in Rosario, Argentina—renowned street performance spots.
