Buseker Carnival; ca. 1989.
There are now so many events in both Kitchener and Waterloo overtaking King St, that is hard to believe it was once a very controversial proposition to hold such an event on King St, closing it to traffic and with public noise. The Waterloo Jazz Festival and the Kitchener Blues Festival to name but two would have no hope of ever happening had it not been for the pioneering steps by the Busker Carnival.
