Buskers Festival street parties
After the initial parade, Kuala Lumpur buzzes with electricity for the next eight days. The Buskers Festival street parties seem to envelope the whole city. The main venue areas include the Kuala Lumpur Central Market, KL Tower, Berjaya Times Square, Bukit Bintang and 1 Utama.
The Buskers come from far and wide to entertain and incite laughter and awe with their wild antics. There are freak shows, skateboard shows, fire eaters, jugglers, stilt walkers, fairy tale theatre, and anything that might bounce, wiggle and giggle.
