2026 Featured Festival Performers
Her Majesty’s Secret Circus
Agents Honeymoon and Butterfly are on a not-so-secret mission. Dressed in ridiculous action suits, they perform a high-energy fire juggling act and enlist the help of civilian sleeper agents. Then, in Operation Grand Finale, they shoot a bow and plunger into the sky and catch it atop a giant unicycle. This world-touring stunt comedy show is an amazing and hilarious experience, not to be missed.

’We are excited to come to Salt Lake City because we've heard really great things about the arts scene, the buskers festival itself, and because we love the beauty of Utah. We've spent a ton of time there over the years for outdoor recreation, specifically: paragliding, river rafting, desert camping, and national park exploring. This will be our first time coming to entertain and we are really looking forward to it.’ — Brent and Maya
The Silver Starlets
Step right up for The Silver Starlets – the dazzling aerial duo who prove that strength and sparkle make the perfect match. With a 20-foot trapeze rig as their stage, these high-flying performers deliver a glittering mix of acrobatics, comedy, and vintage circus glamor that lights up the sky and keeps audiences cheering from start to finish.
Elegant, funny, and impossibly sparkly, The Silver Starlets prove that circus can still steal your heart – one glittering swing at a time.

”The Silver Starlets are excited to check out all the great donut shops in SLC as every time we pass through we seem to come across the most delicious and well crafted donuts we've ever seen or eaten. This will be our first time performing in SLC. We can't wait to experience the crowds at the SLC Busker Festival, known for their enthusiastic support for art in their city. It's going to be a great weekend of shows, smiles, and sparkles!” — Molly and Libby
Marcus, Funny Man Who Does Tricks
Marcus Wilson was born on April Fools day 1973, so it seems only fitting that he has a passion for jokes. This passion kept him in trouble all through elementary and jr. high school. In ninth grade, he enrolled in a drama class and discovered a place where acting out was encouraged and accepted. He found that as long as he was on stage people seemed to enjoy his obnoxious antics.
In high school, while working at a restaurant, he learned to juggle with rolls and oranges and fell in love with useless tricks and odd skills. At the age of 22, armed with a handful of these tricks and a desire to entertain, he began doing shows. About five years later, he began performing in comedy clubs. Since then, he has been making his living performing. Marcus lives in West Jordan, Utah. After giving his teachers such a hard time, he ended up married to a teacher. He has been married since 1996 and has four kids.

”I love performing at the Salt Lake Busker Festival. I'm from here and will see lots of family and friends at this festival while I’m performing. I just love this festival. The crowds are great. There are always amazing performers. It is so much fun to have some of the best buskers from all over the world mixed with local entertainers putting on all types of shows that you wouldn’t normally see. It is a festival like nothing else that exists in this state.”.”
The Unicycling Unicorn
A bright white rainbow vintage onesie ski suit, 80’s music and a unicorn riding a 12-foot unicorn unicycle. Yes, it's as crazy, funny and ridiculous as it sounds!
Featuring unbelievable unicycle skills by a world champion unicyclist who has over 34 years of experience. For the brand new finale, this daredevil will be on top of one of the tallest unicycles in the world juggling a torch, a knife and a surprise dangerous object that has killed more people than sharks last year!
An original grand finale that you have never seen before as he is the only person in the universe brave...or stupid...enough to do it.
