International Buskers Festival

Kamloops has put on its first ever International Buskers Festival and I encourage anyone in town or near by to come check it out! This was Reuben Dot Dot Dot who was just the cutest, and totally awesome. He performed acrobatics on a 17ft pole held in place by 4 random guys from the audience. Seriously though bring some cash. These talented folks preform for a living and they are working hard for them Dolla bills! #kamloopsinternationalbuskersfestival2018 #kamloops #riversidepark #buskers #festival #streetpreformer #reubendotdotdot #handstand #supercute #downtown #tourismBC #visitkamloops @reubendotdotdot
