The Edmonton International Street Performers Festival. has been coming and going for years, and they show no signs of slowing down.
“The popularity and legacy of the festival comes from humble beginnings, starting as a loose concept in the minds of co-founders Sheldon Wilner and Dick Finkel,” they explain.
“In 1985, the Street Performers Festival was the first of its kind in Canada. The creative team consisted of a handful of friends, volunteers, and board members – nothing like the hundreds of volunteers we see each summer now.”
More information is expected to be released soon, but until then, get excited, Edmonton!
