Middle and Palmer Streets

Enjoy free live entertainment in downtown Lowell during the Spring Busker Festival! Organized by the City of Lowell through the Office of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, this festival brings together musicians, dancers, aerialists, market vendors, food trucks and more for a day full of exciting entertainment.

A “busker” is a street performer - musicians, dancers, magicians, and other artists who perform in public spaces, bringing energy and creativity directly to the streets. At the Spring Busker Festival, Lowell celebrates this tradition with live performances across several pop-up spots, filling the streets with music, movement, and excitement. In addition to live music, you’ll find local artisan vendors, food trucks, and performers!
