MUSIC CONNECTIONS
Busking
Musicians are able to busk around town for tips.
Please be careful of your sound levels. If you are loud enough to be heard inside the stores, you compete with the stores music and tend to irritate the shop owners.
If you want to busk during a festival you need to ask permission of the fair coordinators. Village Artisans puts on Art on the Lawn and they encourage musicians busking.
