Get Involved
The Ottawa International Buskerfest wouldn’t happen without sponsors, volunteers, attendees and performers. Dozens of volunteers onsite help out each day while the performers do shows at street level. Sponsors and onsite partners engage with our crowds onsite. Be a part of the fun and let us know how you’d like to be involved.
See the cards below for Perform, Vend and Volunteer. To support the festival as a partner, visit Sponsors.
Perform
Are you a busker, circus or variety act? Apply to perform on Sparks Street, or join the Circus Factory busker academy to train with the pros.
Nothing is booked on this site — these start an inquiry.
Vend

Volunteer
The festival runs on volunteers — from crowd hosts to stage marshals. Lend a few hours and get the best seat in the house.
