Friday night, buskers returned to downtown Lawrence, as did numerous art cars that will be part of the first Art Tougeau parade in years.
The Art Tougeau celebration will reconvene at 10 a.m. Saturday prior to the parade, which starts at noon in front of the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St.
The busker fun continues all weekend. See a full schedule of performers and a map of the many stages at this link.
Here are some photos from the first night of the Busker Festival’s return.
