From 4-7pm, local musicians, theater groups, comedians, acrobats, dancers and more will be showcasing their talents at ground level of the Metromover Inner Loop stations and select satellite locations, including Miami Center for Architecture and Design, the host of the Buskerfest Miami Children’s Corner.

New this year is the Comedy Corner by Comic Cure, sure to bring laughter to the streets! Starting at 6pm take a look back at Miami’s past and enjoy archival footage presented by the Lynn and Louis Wolfson II Florida Moving Image Archives on the big screen at Tina Hills. At 7 pm the party moves to Bayfront Park for a concentrated showcase of buskers dubbed the Buskextravaganza! The final performance and wrap-up party begins at 8pm at the Tina Hills Pavilion in Bayfront Park, featuring a groove-heavy performance by Ketchy Shuby, the originators of “Downtown Miami Soul.”
