Strolling & Hourly Entertainment
Off the stage and in the crowd, the entertainment comes to you!
Improv Fun
You never know what fun and silliness will happen with one of our strolling entertainers. You might enjoy a torch relay, mime chimes, magic, juggling, stickers or just playing around with a hat or other props. The fun is in the unknown joy that can come from the simple interactions of a professional street performer. This is a great way to provide entertainment for every age at an event (with no lines forming).
