32 years of laughs
Join us at the Ottawa International Buskerfest on historic Sparks Street, August 7-9, 2026!
Buskers take over Sparks street and deliver over 100 electrifying performances.
Brought to you by Downtown BIA, Circus Factory (a volunteer not for profit board,) government support, and on-site sponsors. Prepare to be enthralled by fire-breathers, contortionists, acrobats and more. Get ready for stomach clenching comedy too, these performers all know how to make an audience laugh.
Sparks Street is your vibrant capital city destination!
After a day of shopping, wind down with a drink on one of Sparks’ bustling patios. Enjoy live music every week at one of our pubs and bars. Historical Sparks Street is home to Ottawa’s favourite festivals: Ribfest, Poutinefest, and the Ottawa International Busker Festival. Sparks Street will dazzle your senses and captivate your imagination. It is always a good time with friends and family for diverse shopping, delicious dining, and simply great fun!
