CentreFest
Downtown Red Deer on Ross Street and Little Gaetz Ave.
Noon-6:00 p.m. each day
Admission:
Entry is by donation! It s up to you how much you pay. Street performers earn their living by passing the hat . So when you enjoy their performance, let them know with your toonies and bills.
Central Alberta s largest outdoor street performer festival!
All ages can enjoy diverse talents and performers from across the globe, at the Centrefest Street Performer Festival in downtown Red Deer.
Street performing or busking is an ancient form of entertainment. It is a style like no other. Street performers are that rare breed of entertainer in search of the best place or pitch to perform their art. They set up and create a show where there was nothing but the street. They gather passers by, and turn them into an audience. The street performer then presents a full show, usually with an amazing finale. All with no guarantee of getting paid, but because the performer has made a connection with the audience, people voluntarily put bills into the performer's hat. It's truly the most honest form of entertainment in the world.
Audience participation is the key to being a successful street performer. Buskers can be dancers, mimes, artists, clowns, magicians, musicians, puppeteers, snake charmers, jugglers, acrobats, sword swallowers, tumblers, living statues, comedians, and just plain weird.
No form of entertainment is more diverse and eclectic than street performing. A good busker draws upon the audience, adapting to his or her surroundings. No two shows are ever the same, which makes street performing a truly unique form of entertainment. CentreFest brings all of these unique skills and entertainers to one spot for all to enjoy. CentreFest is an annual festival that runs, rain or shine, in downtown Red Deer and is open to the public.
World class artists, performers, and street acts combine to create a unique atmosphere that will inspire and amaze you with their outrageous and ingenious performances. Have a laugh, enjoy the food, listen to some great music, kids can learn some circus skills in Circus World. Entertainment, food, face painting, crafts and much more, July 27-28 in downtown Red Deer.
Refresh yourself at Rotary Water World, containing sprinklers, and refillable water bottles to keep you comfortable. Tour the Street Market, a unique shopping place with fantastic food, local vendors peddling their locally produced or exotic wares, not to mention the wide variety of shops found only downtown. With something for everyone at CentreFest, be it the street vendors, exotic performances, tasty treats, Rotary Water World, Circus World, CentreFest 2024 promises to be the best to date.
2024 Circle Show Performers
As always, the all star line-up of jugglers, comedians and acrobats come from all parts of the world and are guaranteed to make you laugh and leave you in awe with their crazy antics and out-of-this-world stunts.
