Edmonton International Street Performers Festival

On Friday we checked out the Street Performers Festival on its opening night. It is held downtown and we saw everything from sword swallowers, balloon makers and jugglers, and karate masters. The above picture isn't mine, but we saw this guy. He was by far our favorite. He did quite a few acts including juggling ping pong balls in his mouth. He also rode the 'seven foot unicycle of death' while juggling a machede, battle axe, and stinky shoe. It's free admission with a 'pass the hat' kind of payment. He was the only guy we felt bad for not paying anything.

You guys are good at finding fun, free things to do in Edmonton. Maybe you need to come to Winnipeg and find out the same stuff for us:)
