WHAT ARE BUSKERS?
Busking (Street performance) is the act of performing voluntarily in public places for gratuities from members of the public. Granville Island is proud of its reputation for supporting lively street culture and greatly values the diversity of entertainment that buskers provide in the public realm. Artistic and cultural life is integral to Granville Island’s creative environment as it encourages performers to showcase their craft. Granville Island is committed to providing a safe, accessible, and culturally sensitive environment for all.
