It is really hard to find anything else going on this weekend but the Buskers Rendezvous and that’s OK with me. I’ve never been here at this time of year to experience the Busking festival so I’m pretty excited about it. Of course there are some other things to check out between fire breathing and juggling acts. The city seems to be taken over this weekend by art and music so be sure to check some of it out.
