Derek Derek - The Fuzzy Juggler The 16th Lawrence Busker Festival is scheduled to be May 24-26, 2024. The three day event is free, other than tips to the performers. Busking is performing in public places for money. Buskers are also called street performers, street musicians, minstrels, or troubadours. There will be 5 stages with continuous performances by more than 20 acts, scattered along and around Massachusetts Street, which is the Lawrence, Kansas downtown. More street performers such as musicians, balloon artists, jugglers, magicians and chalk artists set up along Massachusetts between the stages. If it is a hot day, most of the performers who are not on stage set up along the south, shady side of the street. My favorite performances at past Busker Festivals have included the Derek Derek - The Fuzzy Juggler, Mat Ricardo - Gentlemen Juggler, Sara Twister - Acrobatic Archery and the Voler Thieves of Flight Aerial Artists. Food vendors have been somewhat limited in past years, but Massachusetts is lined with many great, locally owned restaurants. This street may be the best shopping main street in Kansas. Performances in 2024 are scheduled from 5-11PM on Friday,
1-10PM on Saturday and 1-7PM on Sunday
