There is a Big Float, a Big Pun (R.I.P.). and of course the one and only The Big Busk. Now in its third year, this annual event seizes the street corners of downtown Portland for a series of busking sets from a vast selection of local musicians. Even you—yes, you—can play, just drop them a line.

This year's Big Busk is scheduled for Saturday, July 16, from 11 am-8 pm. All the sets are free, but bring some dollar bills (or larger, Daddy Warbucks) for the hardworking musicians.
