    BuskerFest 2009

    So today we went down to BuskerFest in support of Epilepsy Toronto. It was a fun time, full of street performers and vendors, there were places for the kids to play, balloon animals and all sorts of other things to see. They close the streets around St. Lawrence Market for it so there are no cars to worry about just lots and lots of people. We even saw another guy in a kilt, he was a vendor selling imports from the UK. Here are the photos.



    These boys were playing an Irish jig








    There were hats everywhere, Catherine loves hats




    There were also dogs everywhere






    Those are about all the photos I've got, it was a fun day for a good cause, afterward we went into the St. Lawrence Market to pick up a few groceries.
