Lawrence Busker Festival

The Lawrence Busker Festival is an annual celebration of street performance and artistry held in downtown Lawrence. Events will be Friday through Sunday, primarily taking place along Vermont, Mass, and New Hampshire Streets, between 8th and 9th Streets. We have never attended this festival, but it sounds like a quintessential Lawrence event! If you go, let us know how it was!
