A Performance Tip

Busking -- the practice of performing in public places for tips or gratuities. Busker -- a person who is performing for tips.

Many corners in Philadelphia have Buskers. And while many are not very good performers, occasionally there are exceptionally good performers who are Busking.


On one weekend afternoon, there was a troupe of young adult Buskers performing in Philadelphia's Love Park. These performers were amazing, with their gravity defying acrobatics. Their leaps and break dancing showed precision and amazing skill.

So the next time you are out walking in Center City Philadelphia, look and listen for Buskers, especially in the parks. And if you find that occasional good performance, take a moment and enjoy the show.
