Downtown Cobourg is about to come alive with jaw-dropping stunts, music, magic, and more as Buskerfest returns this weekend for the first time since the pandemic.
Presented by Kobblestone Productions, the 2025 Cobourg Busker Festival runs Friday, July 18 from 5 to 10 p.m. and Saturday, July 19 from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. The free, family-friendly event will take over King Street West between Division and Spring.
This year’s lineup features international performers including Estonia’s Fire Ninja, Irish magician Jack Wise, and Canada’s own Scott Jackson, a beatboxer and Canada’s Got Talent finalist.
He credits his grandfather with sparking his passion for making sounds.
Also hitting the streets are The Great Orbax and Sweet Pepper Klopek – known as the Monsters of Schlock – bringing science, sideshow freakery, and fearless fun.
Buskerfest also includes axe throwing, a street market, food vendors, and a Kids Zone.
Whether you’re after thrills, laughs, or a great day out with family, it’s the summer event you won’t want to miss.
