2026 Edmonton International Street Performers Festival

Launched in 1985, StreetFest was the first of its kind in North America. For over four decades the Festival has brought high-caliber street entertainment acts to the heart of downtown, and this year is no exception!

The Edmonton International Street Performers Festival returns to Churchill Square this July with ten days of exciting, unpredictable entertainment for all ages. From July 3 to 12, StreetFest transforms the Square into busker central; catch jaw-dropping circle shows, interactive roving acts, and family fun in Kids’ World from a lineup of renowned local, national, and international street performing talent. Learn some circus tricks at Busker Academy – from juggling to stilt walking - or explore daily special events listed on the festival’s website. There’s something for everyone!

There is no admission charge for the Festival! That said, the performers are paid through the ‘Pass the Hat’ tradition of busking, so be sure to bring some cash to show your support.

General Festival Hours:

July 3: 5:00pm – 10:00pm

July 4 – 11: 10:00am – 10:00pm

July 12: 10:00am – 5:00pm
