Kingston Buskers Rendezvous

The 36th Kingston Buskers Rendezvous is taking over downtown Kingston from July 9 to 12, 2026!
Get ready for four days of jaw-dropping performances, laugh-out-loud entertainment, incredible circus acts, giant bubbles, marionettes, music, acrobatics, and plenty of surprises around every corner. Watch world-class street performers transform Springer Market Square and the surrounding downtown streets into one giant outdoor stage.
This year's lineup features Cate Great, Cesco, The Bubble Man, CHIKALAND, Julia Perron, The Gipsy Marionettist, The Unicycling Unicorn, and returning fan favourite WackyChad.
Festival performances take place in and around Springer Market Square Thursday through Saturday from 1 PM to 11 PM and Sunday from 11 AM to 6 PM.
Families with young children can also enjoy Busker Play in Confederation Park Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 11 AM to 1 PM, with additional street corner performances happening daily from 11 AM to 5 PM.
Be sure to catch Buskers After Dark on Friday night and don't miss the Grand Finale on Sunday, when the entire cast of performers comes together for one unforgettable showcase.
Daily schedules and performance locations will be posted each morning on our website, social media channels, and at the Information Tent in Confederation Park. As any good busker knows, a little spontaneity is part of the fun, so performance times may change throughout the day.
Bring your friends, bring the family, and experience one of Kingston's most beloved summer traditions!
