RULES FOR BUSKING

If you are interested in becoming a busker at the U District Street Fair, please read the busker rules below.

1. Busking is allowed at the U District Street Fair. Performance locations along University Way NE are generally located in bus shelters, as long as there is no conflict with vendors.
2. Some additional spaces along University Way NE (also known as ‘the Ave’) may be available, however crowd control and allowing for clear pedestrian access will be the responsibility of the buskers. If there is not adequate pedestrian access to ensure safety, Street Fair Staff may ask the Busker to move to another location.
3. NO busking is allowed at the intersections of NE 43rd and University Way NE, NE 42nd and University Way NE, and NE 41st and University Way NE due to conflict with the stages. Busking is allowed at the intersection of NE 47th and University Way NE when there is not a scheduled performance.
