Entertainment is prevalent in all days of the silly season calendar in Porto. And guess what? August still has serious fun days to offer!

Porto Busker Fest bids farewell this weekend. And it will not disappoint as 25 national and foreign buskers interact with crowds downtown Porto, dancing, singing and sharing their amazing talents. These artists are from Portugal, Argentina, Brazil, Poland, Puerto Rico and Peru.

The fun zones are Gomes Teixeira Square (aka "Praça dos Leões"), Cândido dos Reis Street, Ceuta Street and Campo dos Mártires da Pátria (back of the rectory of the University of Porto).

Beware of music performances, comedy and clowns dressed to the occasion that may lead to an atmosphere of high spirits and joy.

This is Busker Fest first edition and it is held in the context of the municipal programme "Verão é no Porto" [Summer in Porto].
