It’s been almost two weeks since Buskerfest, but we’re not done saying THANK YOU! 🧡🎪

An event like this wouldn’t be possible without the support of so many amazing sponsors and community partners.

A special thank you to our Green Room Sponsors — Ullrich’s, Dino’s Pizza, Tim Hortons, and Paige Afelskie — for donating food and drinks to keep our talented performers and hardworking volunteers fed and energized throughout the festival! 🥪🍕☕🥤

Your generosity helped us take care of the people behind the scenes (and on the streets!) who made Buskerfest possible.

Thank you for supporting Buskerfest and our community! 🧡

And thank you to Laurentian Valley Grains for providing us with more grain for the second day and helping us keep the fun going! 🙌

You helped make a lot of little Buskerfest visitors very happy! 🩷
