The festival may be coming to an end, but there’s still lots of fun to be had !
This Saturday Portobello prom will once again host the Big Beach Busk. Let’s hope for some good weather !
From noon until 6pm…
As always, anyone can join in, you don’t need to ask, it doesn’t have to be music – anything that entertains is the key !
Most importantly – have fun !!
So it looks like this weekend there are plenty of things to do ! Along with the Mela festival, this Saturday, 30th August- its also the Big Beach Busk down at Portobello promenade…
Its fairly simple really: A mile of promenade, a mile of buskers. Come along and play or come down just to see the spectacle. You can be any kind of street entertainer you like from a one man band to an orchestra, a mime/robot, a choir, balloon modeller or magician, so expect to see some varied acts !!
And an exciting new addition for this year – is Rhymetimes. They will be doing two sessions of rhymes for wee ones from 1pm to 1.30pm and 2pm to 2.30pm. It’s in Straiton Park (that’s Pirate Park) which is the little grassy play park right next to the boat club.
If the Mela is not enough excitement for you this weekend, there is also something very fun happening down on Portobello beach -the big beach busk.
From noon on Saturday 31st August, Portobello Prom will be hosting buskers of all varieties in this fun family friendly free event !
‘A mile of promenade, a mile of buskers. Simple.’
